Reliever Jacob Barnes, after being designated for assignment by the Toronto Blue Jays, has elected free agency. In six appearances this season, he posted a 9.00 ERA with nine runs allowed, which ultimately led to his release. A seasoned pitcher with ten years in MLB, Barnes has a history of moving between teams, highlighted by his current free agency status. Previously, he held a middle relief role with the Nationals last season, demonstrating his capability to contribute in MLB despite inconsistency.
Barnes made six appearances, allowing nine runs (eight earned) on 10 hits and a trio of walks through eight innings, striking out five.
Since 2019, Barnes hasn't spent multiple consecutive seasons with the same team, moving around as a journeyman depth arm throughout his career.
