Blue Jays Avoid Arbitration With Tyler Heineman, Set $1.24M Salary

Toronto avoided arbitration with catcher Heineman, per Ben Nicholson-Smith. The deal sets his 2026 salary at $1.2M, keeping the backstop under contract without a hearing. It’s another quiet roster piece locked in as the club reshapes its lineup after adding Kazuma Okamoto and leaving room for more pitching moves later this winter. The Jays keep certainty at catcher for now.
