The Blue Jays released Mayers on Aug. 2.
After posting a 6.15 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in 26.1 innings at the big-league level with the Royals in 2023, Mayers was forced to settle for a minor-league deal with the Blue Jays in free agency this offseason. The 32-year-old right-hander didn't perform well enough at Triple-A Buffalo this season to garner a look with the big club before he was cut loose, as he logged a 6.10 ERA and 1.63 WHIP across 41.1 innings in the International League.
