  "account": "The Toronto Blue Jays are expected to let go of Cy Young Award winner Shane Bieber in free agency, according to predictions. Bieber, a former Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher, sustained forearm fatigue and missed the majority of the 2026 season. He made just 11 starts before shoulder inflammation ended his campaign. Despite a strong 2.59 ERA in his final four starts, his limited innings count and injury history could make him an unattractive option for the Blue Jays. They may prioritize stability in their rebuilding process, seeking a dependable middle-of-the-rotation arm instead of relying on Bieber.",
