Jeff Hoffman finalized a $33 million , three-year contract with the Toronto Blue Jays last week .

The Baltimore Orioles and Atlanta Braves backed out of agreements to sign Hoffman because of concerns about the reliever's shoulder.

"The stuff they saw on the MRIs, whatever they saw was what their team docs were saying," Hoffman says.

Hoffman was last on the injured list in 2022 with Cincinnati , when he didn't pitch after July 23 .
