The Blue Jays re-signed lefty Joe Mantiply to a minor league deal with a spring invite, aiming to bolster their left-handed bullpen depth for 2026.

The Toronto Blue Jays have re-signed left-handed reliever Joe Mantiply to a minor league contract with a spring training invite. The 35-year-old, released by the Diamondbacks in June 2025, pitched for Triple-A Buffalo, posting a 3.45 ERA with 19 strikeouts and no walks in 15.2 innings. Though he struggled in limited MLB action, his strong command and ground-ball ability make him a potential bullpen addition. The move comes as the team strengthens its left-handed relief depth ahead of the 2026 season.
