He has been a strong spot for a poorly constructed Blue Jays roster with a 1.88 ERA, 24 strikeouts and a career-best seven saves in 28 2\/3 innings. He is striking out batters at a 21.8 percent rate compared to his 8.2 percent walk rate. His ERA this season is the second-lowest mark of his career behind the 1.83 he posted with the Yankees in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Green signed with Toronto back in January 2023 on a deal that guaranteed him $8.5 million over two years. Since then, the Blue Jays exercised a two-year, $21 million club option on Green&#8217;s services. That leaves him with a total guarantee of $23.25 million over three years, including the $2.5 million he earned last season.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees bullpen has struggled lately. They rank sixth in the majors in ERA (3.46) but 17th in strikeouts and 18th in FIP.
