ESPN insider sets the stage for Seranthony Dominguez's free agency after a season split between two MLB teams.
Seranthony Dominguez began 2025 with the Baltimore Orioles, performing well despite the team's struggles. As the Orioles lost hope in the season, they traded him to the Toronto Blue Jays before the deadline. The Blue Jays aimed to strengthen their bullpen, and Dominguez contributed in 24 regular-season games, posting a 3.00 ERA across 21.1 innings.
Now a free agent, Dominguez seeks a new contract. The market features elite relievers like Edwin Diaz, Ryan Helsley, Devin Williams, and Robert Suarez, who are expected to attract significant interest this winter. However, Dominguez offers teams a valuable arm at a potentially lower cost.
"I think a two-year deal makes the most sense here given his high-wire style of pitching." — ESPN's Kiley McDaniel
The hard-throwing right-hander possesses a strong strikeout rate but carries some risks due to inconsistent command. He occasionally allows walks and must rely on strikeouts or solid defense to escape trouble during appearances. This high-risk, high-reward style shapes teams' considerations for signing him.
"While he is dominant on the mound, he comes with a degree of risk."
