"According to several media reports, the Jays and Cease agreed to a seven-year, $210-million US contract. According to ESPN, the deal is pending a physical. The 29-year-old Cease was 8-12 with a 4.55 earned-run average last season with the San Diego Padres. He registered 215 strikeouts over 168 innings pitched. The deal would surpass George Springer's six-year, $150 million pact with Toronto, making Cease's contract the richest ever given out to a free agent in Blue Jays history."
"The six-foot-two, 200-pound Cease has pitched in seven major-league seasons with San Diego and the Chicago White Sox. He's a remarkably consistent pitcher, making at least 32 starts in each of his past five seasons and striking out a minimum of 214 hitters in each one of those years. Cease has a 65-58 career record from 188 starts. He sports a 3.88 ERA with 1,231 strikeouts."
