Jon Heyman is reporting that the Jays signed Dylan Cease to a seven-year, $210 million contract. At least he spells his first name right. Cease will be 30 at the end of December.

He averaged 97 mph on his fastball last year. He had an off-season last, 4.55 ERA but the year before he had a 3.47 ERA. He was number 3 on Ben’s list and number 9 on Keith Law’s list. He’s made 32 or 33 starts for five straight years.

Per Jeff Passan, the deal is pending a physical for Cease.

How much money does rogers have left to sign bo? Is everyone’s cell phone and internet bill going up?

They made $50 million just on the playoff revenue sharing, and the amount of merch they moved over this playoff run probably pays for Cease outright. I’m sure they have a truck full of cash ready for Bo.
