At the onset of the offseason, it felt like a foregone conclusion that Bo Bichette and the Toronto Blue Jays would reunite on a long-term deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Then, the team went out and signed Dylan Cease to the second-largest contract in franchise history. They followed that up with a three-year deal for Cody Ponce, and then a three-year deal with Tyler Rogers. And, most recently, a four-year, $60 million pact with Kazuma Okamoto.
That quartet of contracts total more than $330 million, a bodacious spending spree in conjunction with the $500 million extension Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
