Right-handed relief pitcher Jeff Hoffman is now a member of the Toronto Blue Jays, but he could have just as easily signed with the Atlanta Braves or Baltimore Orioles.

Braves beat writer Mark Bowman reported on Monday that Hoffman had a deal in place with Atlanta before it ultimately fell through. Bowman did not say what the issue was with his physical, but Robert Murray of FanSided reported that his physical with the Orioles brought to light a shoulder issue.
