Additional notes, stats and figures on the Toronto Blue Jays’ recent acquisition of left-handed pitcher Clayton Richard from the San Diego Padres.

According to AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, the Padres are going to be covering half of Clayton Richard’s $3 million salary in 2019, meaning the Blue Jays will only be on the hook for $1.5 million for next year.
