On Friday, the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> played the White Sox<\/a> in Chicago.<\/p>\n The Blue Jays lost by a score of 5-4.<\/p>\n Toronto Blue Jays Sign Former World Series Champion Patrick Corbin<\/a> #46 of the Texas Rangers<\/a> pitches in the fourth inning against the Baltimore Orioles<\/a> at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on June 23, 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland.<\/p>\n After the game, the Blue Jays announced that they had signed Patrick Corbin.<\/p>\n The former All-Star is coming off a year where he went 7-11 with a 4.40 ERA in 31 games for the Texas Rangers.<\/p>\n The Blue Jays wrote (via X):<\/a> \u201cOFFICIAL: We\u2019ve signed LHP Patrick Corbin to a one-year deal. He has been optioned to the Dunedin Blue Jays.\u201d<\/p>\n OFFICIAL: We\u2019ve signed LHP Patrick Corbin to a one-year deal. He has been optioned to the Dunedin Blue Jays. <\/p>\n MLB Social Media World Reacts To Corbin Signing GettyPatrick Corbin #46 of the Texas Rangers pitches against the New York Yankees<\/a> during the first inning at Globe Life Field on August 4, 2025 in Arlington, Texas.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what people were saying on social media:<\/p>\n Keegan Matheson:<\/a> \u201cWhether Patrick Corbin is ready to step into the #BlueJays\u2019 rotation for a couple of starts while it\u2019s still needed? We\u2019ll see. Regardless, at the cost, it\u2019s a wise move even if it saves this bullpen just once or twice. Can\u2019t have that group maxing out so early in the year.\u201d<\/p>\n Daniele Franceschi:<\/a> \u201c#BlueJays announce they have signed veteran LHP Patrick Corbin to a one-year deal. Corbin will begin with Single-A Dunedin. The 36-year-old made 30 starts for the Texas #Rangers last season. #BlueJays50\u201d<\/p>\n @JaysClubhouse:<\/a> \u201cPatrick Corbin, 36, provides the #BlueJays with a low-cost ($1m for 1 yr), high-floor, lefty stabilizer for the back of the rotation who can protect the bullpen, and presumably bridge the gap until return of Yesavage, Berrios, Bieber, etc. While he no longer has the swing-and-miss slider of his prime, his elite durability (a decade of 150+ inning seasons) makes him a potential \u201cinnings eater\u201d who can reliably take the ball every fifth day. Showed signs of a late-career resurgence in 2025 by neutralizing righties with an improved changeup. Although his diminished velocity and tendency to surrender hard contact limit his ceiling to that of a fifth starter or long reliever, his ability to provide bulk and veteran leadership makes him a zero-risk addition for a team currently in need of pitching depth.
