"“There are ways to explore around the league, too. I know that Ross (Atkins) and everyone are kind of crossing every bridge they can to figure that out,” Schneider said."
"Not only did he pitch effectively as a starter when Toronto needed him most, he was just as good as a reliever down the stretch. And who could forget his gutsy performance for the Blue Jays during the 18-inning marathon in Game 3 of the 2025 World Series."
"The Blue Jays lucked out earlier this season when they were able to find veteran left-hander Patrick Corbin dangling in free agency on a super-value $1 million deal. Not only has Corbin now become a more permanent fixture in the Blue Jays rotation, he has also been doing an impressive job in that role."
"In the meantime, according to Bannon, the Blue Jays manager also mentioned that Spencer Miles, along with prospects CJ Van Eyk and Chad Dallas will be in the mix for the Jays' fifth starter s"
Eric Lauer was designated for assignment by the Toronto Blue Jays after a disastrous start to his 2026 campaign.

The team may also consider Spencer Miles and prospects CJ Van Eyk and Chad Dallas for the fifth starter role.
