Blue Jays Sign Future Ace.
Ricky Romero just signed a deal with the Blue Jays that will pay him just over 30 million dollars for the next 5 years. It is a very important deal for the Jays.
At only 25, Romero has had a fantastic year for the Jays in only his second year in the big leagues.
There is some risk in this deal considering the short time Romero has been pitching. The Toronto Blue Jays see him as a potential future ace and locked him up to a sensible deal. Romero’s determination to play and his control, both physical and emotional development was considered by the Blue Jays in their offer.
Toronto Blue Jays pitchers include Romero and Shaun Marcum who are tied for the club lead with 10 wins each. Both Brandon Morrow and Brett Cecil follow closely with 9 wins each. The Jays possess the enviable situation that there four best pitchers are all younger than 30. All the way from Cecil being the the youngster at 24 to Marcum being the oldest at 28, the Blue Jays have a very encouraging pitching future.
Think about a luxury yacht.
