Anthony Bass News
Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Anthony Bass has been designated for assignment by the organization on Friday. Bass recently shared an anti-LGBTQ+ video on social media. The highly-publicized off-field controversy was enough for the Blue Jays to move on from the 35-year-old. He has been struggling this season, posting a 4.95 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 19/2 K/BB across 20 appearances. In a corresponding move, right-hander Mitch White (elbow) has been activated from the 60-day injured list. The 28-year-old joins the Jays bullpen in a versatile swingman role. It's tough to imagine White having much fantasy value unless he moves into the starting rotation.
The Toronto Blue Jays are acquiring relief pitcher Anthony Bass, right-hander Zach Pop and a smaller unnamed piece on Tuesday in exchange for infield prospect Jordan Groshans. The Blue Jays had been looking to upgrade their bullpen for a run at a postseason spot, so Bass and Pop will be inserted as late-inning setup men in Toronto in front of closer Jordan Romano. Bass has been excellent this year, posting a 1.41 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 45:10 K:BB in 44 2/3 innings, but his fantasy value won't change all that much in a setup role in Toronto. Pop has been solid but not spectacular, going 2-0 with a 3.60 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 14 strikeouts in 20 relief innings for the Fish.
Miami Marlins relief pitcher Anthony Bass took his eighth loss of the season in Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He pitched one inning, allowing two solo home runs, lifting his ERA to 4.23. That's actually better than his FIP, which sits at 5.12 after this outing. Bass has been overall bad this season, but at least part of the blame has to be put on manager Don Mattingly. Bass has done nothing to show that he can handle high-leverage work this season, yet he continues to pitch in high-leverage situations. With Mattingly's penchant for mind-numbing bullpen decisions and Bass signed through 2023, there's a non-zero chance Bass will enter next season as the Marlins closer.
