Blue Jays Jeff Hoffman provides insight on multiple failed physicals
Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Jeff Hoffman finally spoke in an interview earlier this afternoon on his failed physicals with the Baltimore Orioles and Atlanta Braves on the MLB Network.
Jeff Hoffman is thrilled to be a member of the Toronto Blue Jays...again.
The team's new closer met with the media Wednesday afternoon to discuss his recent three-year $33-million deal - almost a decade after he was traded for Troy Tulowitzki.
His acquisition, however, was met with reports that he failed physicals with both the Baltimore Orioles and the Atlanta Braves before signing with the Jays.
Hoffman stated both teams offered in-person physicals but it was the MRIs that caused the two clubs to back away.
Toronto's doctors, who have been in contact with Hoffman since the start of the off-season, saw things differently, apparently.
When asked if toeing the rubber against his new divisional rivals in Baltimore would have more meaning after how things unfolded, Hoffman didn't hold back.
This is great to hear since many believed that this could end up being an issue down the line for the Blue Jays if Hoffman's shoulder really was deteriorating.
Welcome back to Toronto Jeff!
