TORONTO — A reloaded Toronto Blue Jays starting rotation has George Springer excited, not necessarily to take another run at the World Series, but to welcome the pitchers the clubhouse.

Springer spoke at a charity function on Wednesday about Shane Bieber taking the player option to stay in Toronto, as well as free agents Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce signing with the Blue Jays. Those three plus Kevin Gausman, Trey Yesavage and Jose Berrios will give Toronto one of the deepest rotations in Major League Baseball in 2026.

“Oh, it’s exciting. I mean, obviously, we get to see Shane again. I love the guy,” said Springer, sitting in a downtown Toronto restaurant during a Make-A-Wish Foundation event. “He sticks around, which is huge for us.

“He was awesome in the clubhouse, awesome on the field.”
