Jeff Hoffman isn’t one to forgive and forget. The former first-round pick had been wanting to even the score against the Baltimore Orioles for several months. The moment finally arrived Sunday.

Scherzer? Out. Yarbrough? Gone. The Jays pitching? Uncertain

The added motivation stems from the fact that Hoffman initially expected to be joining the Blue Jays’ division rivals.

He verbally agreed to a multi-year deal during the off-season only to see the Orioles back out after their medical staff had concerns about the health of his right shoulder.
