Blue Jays Trade for Reliever Chase Lee to Deepen 2026 Bullpen

The Blue Jays added more bullpen depth, acquiring right-hander Chase Lee from the Tigers for minor league lefty Johan Simon. Lee went 4–1 with a 4.10 ERA and 36 strikeouts in 32 games last season, profiling as a middle-innings option. Toronto, fresh off a seven-game World Series loss, continues reshaping relief around new signing Tyler Rogers for 2026.
