Contract Value Index (CVI)
Tommy Nance's one-year, $780K deal with the Blue Jays earns an A CVI, representing exceptional value for a reliever who has delivered solid production in his fourth MLB season. The 35-year-old right-hander has posted 2 wins with 32 strikeouts across 30 games, providing steady depth in Toronto's bullpen while operating on essentially a minimum salary. At under $800K annually, Nance represents the type of low-risk, high-reward signing that can pay dividends for teams looking to shore up their relief corps without significant financial commitment. His clutch performance in key situations has earned him positive regard within the organization, with media coverage highlighting his reliable contributions as a depth option. While he's in the twilight phase of his career at 35, the minimal financial investment means any meaningful production represents surplus value for the Blue Jays. The one-year term provides Toronto with flexibility while giving Nance an opportunity to prove he can continue defying the aging curve and remain productive in late-inning situations.
Performance Analysis
Tommy Nance grades as an All-Star caliber performer among MLB relief pitchers, earning a B+ Performance grade. He carries a 4.36 ERA (above the league average of 4.20, an area for improvement) and a 1.29 WHIP across 126.0 innings pitched with a 9.9 K/9 rate. His 5-7 record provides context on team support and run prevention. A 9.9 K/9 rate indicates above-average swing-and-miss stuff. As a experienced veteran at 35, Tommy is a key contributor for the Blue Jays.
