Chad Green has hit the open market.
After the Toronto Blue Jays designated Green for assignment on July 29, the team announced Monday that the 34-year-old reliever has cleared waivers and been released.
Green's last appearance for the Blue Jays came in Game 1 of last week's doubleheader in Baltimore when he allowed four runs and two long balls in the loss.
The shaky performance brought his ERA to 5.56 on the season and shot him into the lead among major-league relievers for home runs allowed.
Toronto signed Green as a free agent ahead of the 2023 season, with the longtime New York Yankee coming off Tommy John surgery.
Green spent most of the 2024 season as the Blue Jays closer, picking up 17 saves while filling in for an injured Jordan Romano.
