Padres to Cover Half of Richard’s Salary
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. This puts a quantified figure on the cash considerations announced by the teams as part of the initial deal.
