Are the Toronto Blue Jays ready to move on from a key bullpen piece?
Seranthony Dominguez is a free agent and several reports indicate that he has interest from several teams. However, Toronto does not appear to be among them. With the recent acquisitions of Cody Ponce, Chase Lee, and Tyler Rogers, the number of the spots in the bullpen are dwindling.
Seranthony Dominguez is drawing strong interest from MLB teams. Industry sources expect him to land a multi-year deal.
He just turned 31, has had zero IL stints the past two seasons, and has averaged 97.0 mph over the last four years.

Dominguez became a key contributor to the back-end of Toronto's bullpen after he was acquired from the Baltimore Orioles in July. In 24 games with the Blue Jays, he went 2-1 with a 3.00 ERA and 25 strikeouts in 21 innings.
However, he wasn't able to sustain that success in the postseason. Although he put up good numbers in the American League Division Series against the New York Yankees, he struggled in the Championship series against the Seattle Mariners, posting an 8.10 ERA in four games.
He recovered in the World Series and picked up a win and 1.93 ERA in five games against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but manager John Schneider elected to use him in lower leverage situations that he had been used to.
Red Sox, Tigers, Orioles have all shown interest in Dominguez
While the Blue Jays don't appear interested in a reunion, the Baltimore Orioles - the team who traded him to Toronto - appear to be. The Blue Jays' American League East rivals Boston Red Sox have also been connected to Dominguez.
Wherever Dominguez ends up, he is likely to receive a multi-year deal
