Becomes free agent
Bass was released by the Blue Jays on Thursday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Bass was designated for assignment Friday and will now become a free agent. He struggled to a 4.95 ERA and 1.40 WHIP across 20 innings before losing his roster spot, but he had proven to be a reliable setup man in the prior seasons. As a result, he may get a chance to latch on with another bullpen around the league.

Toronto acquired Bass from the Miami at the trade deadline and exercised their $3 million club option for 2023 after the right-hander posted career-best marks in games played (73), wins (four) and holds (23). The 35-year-old's 1.54 ERA was 7th among qualified relievers, while most of his Statcast metrics were above average. He bumped his slider usage from 50% to 56%, as it continues to be his most effective offering and helped produce a career-best 9.3 K/9 and 14.8% swinging strike percentage. Bass still has trouble with left-handed swingers (.269 BAA since 2020), but figures to be a fixture in the seventh inning this season for the Blue Jays.
