Elects free agency
Jackson elected to become a free agent Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Jackson was removed from the Blue Jays' 40-man roster last month and has now formally rejected an outright assignment to Triple-A Buffalo. The 36-year-old right-hander should draw a decent amount of interest on the open market this winter after working to a 2.12 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB over 29.2 innings of relief with Toronto in 2023.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2016
2011
2010
2009
Jackson latched on with the Brewers prior to the 2019 season after spending three campaigns in the Japan Central League with the Hiroshima Carp, posting a 2.10 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 9.8 K/9 across 175 appearances. After opening the season with Triple-A San Antonio, the right-hander was promoted near the end of April, marking his first time back in the majors since debuting with the Padres in 2015. Jackson struggled in his first stint with the Brewers, allowing five runs in 2.1 innings, but fared much better after returning following the All-Star break, posting a 3.21 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 44:17 K:BB across his final 28 innings. Jackson proved he has impressive strikeout stuff (13.9 K/9 and 18.1% swinging strike rate), though he'll likely need to cut down on the walks (5.3 BB/9) and home runs (1.8 HR/9) if he wants to work his way into a higher-leverage relief role in 2020.
