In a statement, Jays general manager Ross Atkins said Hoffman will get a chance to close games, the role that Jordan Romano filled for most of the last four seasons.

All-Star reliever and former Phillie Jeff Hoffman and the Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to a $33 million, three-year contract.

The Blue Jays and Phillies essentially swapped Jordan Romano for Jeff Hoffman. It's safe to say that the Blue Jays appear to have won that swap at first glance.
