The Toronto Blue Jays have shown interest in free agent pitcher Framber Valdez, a 32-year-old left-hander and former Houston Astros star. Valdez, a two-time All-Star and 2022 World Series champion, averaged over 191 innings in the past four seasons with a 3.66 ERA in 2025. He turned down a qualifying offer from Houston, meaning any team that signs him will forfeit draft picks in 2026. Former catcher Martin Maldonado praised Valdez’s reliability and work ethic as a competitor.
