When I heard the news that the Blue Jays had extended Randal Grichuk for five years and 52 million dollars I was very pleased. Now that I’ve read through the details of how things are being paid off, I’m definitely tipping my hat to Ross Atkins and the rest of the front office.
Grichuk was supposed to be paid five million in 2019, but now he’ll receive seven million instead, and also a five million dollar signing bonus on top. After that he’ll be paid 12 million in 2020, and then $9,333,333 annually from 2021-2023.
