Bass has been all over the headlines as of late following a post he shared on social media. He has recorded a 4.95 ERA across 20 innings so far this season out of the Blue Jays bullpen.

The Blue Jays will pick up Anthony Bass's 2023 team option.

Fantasy Impact

Bass had the best season of his career in 2022, so it's no surprise the Blue Jays want to bring him back. He excelled in the back end of the Blue Jays bullpen with a 1.54 ERA, 9.34 K/9, and 1.3 WAR in 70.1 innings. Jordan Romano will still likely get the majority of the save chances, but Bass can still be a valuable fantasy asset if he keeps it up.

Anthony Bass is active for the Blue Jays Thursday against the Twins.

The Miami Marlins are trading reliever Anthony Bass to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact

Bass will provide the Blue Jays some huge bullpen help, posting a 1.41 ERA across 44.2 innings so far this season out of the Marlins bullpen. It was evident that bullpen help was one of the biggest needs for Toronto ahead of this deadline behind closer Jordan Romano.

Marlins reliever Anthony Bass allowed two earned runs on three hits while striking out two over 2/3 of an inning to take the loss in Wednesday's matchup against the Mets.
