The Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to a seven-year, $210 million deal with free agent pitcher Dylan Cease, one of the offseason's biggest moves. The signing comes after the Blue Jays' World Series loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers and aims to bolster their rotation. However, it may signal challenges for All-Star pitcher José Berríos.
Dylan Cease, the top-ranked starting pitcher on MLB.com's free-agent list, enters the 2025-26 offseason with a polarizing profile after a 4.55 ERA season with the San Diego Padres. Despite surface-level struggles, advanced metrics like a 3.43 xERA suggest underlying strength. Executives view him as better than his ERA indicates, positioning him for a potential nine-figure deal.
