Giles, 35, was last associated with an MLB team during the 2024 season in the Atlanta Braves organization. He spent 2025 in the Mexican Baseball League as a member of Leones de Yucatan and Piratas de Campeche, both of which played in the Southern Division. Through 20 out of the bullpen between these teams, Giles had a 5.89 ERA with an 11.3 K/9, but he also posted a fairly high 7.4 BB/9.
Giles was acquired by the Blue Jays during the 2018 season, and after finishing that year on a high note, he posted one of the best seasons of his career in 2019. During that campaign, he pitched to a 1.87 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 14.1 K/9 and 23 saves. He was a potential piece that could also be moved at the trade deadline that season, but an injury to his right elbow kept teams from making a deal.
Garrett, on the other hand, signed a minor league deal with the Blue Jays prior to the 2025 season.
