Interesting note (well, that's really up to you):
Even assuming Dylan Cease gets $30 million in 2026, #Bluejays will be paying him and Trey Yesavage less than they paid Chris Bassitt and Max Scherzer this past season.

#Bluejays are getting an awfully good one. And along with this - Cease has never missed a start since debuting in July, 2019.
Highest swing and miss rate induced, 2025 qualified pitchers:
Dylan Cease: 33.4%
Tarik Skubal: 32.5%

Right-hander Dylan Cease and the Toronto Blue Jays are in agreement on a seven-year, $210 million contract, pending a physical, sources tell ESPN. The defending American League champions get one of the best arms on the free agent market.
