The Toronto Blue Jays are anticipated to part ways with Cy Young winner Shane Bieber ahead of the offseason. After a disappointing 2026 season, the Blue Jays aim to make significant changes to their starting rotation. Bieber's recent injury struggles, including forearm fatigue and shoulder inflammation, limited him to just 96 innings since last year's trade. The team's focus may shift towards acquiring more reliable pitchers as they look to rebuild. With Max Scherzer also entering free agency, the Blue Jays are reevaluating their rotation options.
