The Toronto Blue Jays took care of business on and off the field on Tuesday afternoon.

While they were in the midst of manhandling the New York Yankees in a 9-2 win during Spring Training action, they avoided arbitration and signed 10 different major league players to new contracts for the 2022 season.

Some of the more notable deals:

  • The team signed newly acquired third baseman Matt Chapman to a two-year, $25 million contract extension, eating up the final two years of arbitration before he is able to test unrestricted free agency
  • Vladimir Guerrero Jr, fresh off an MVP calibre season, agrees to a one-year, $7.9 million
  • Two-time Silver Slugger Award winner Teoscar Hernandez receives $10.65 million contract in 2022.

The remainder of the contracts, which were all one-year extensions, went as follows

  • Infleider Cavan Biggio = $2.11 million
  • Relievers Ryan Borucki = $825,000, Adam Cimber = $1,58 million, Ross Stripling = $3.79 million, Tim Mayza = $1.25 million, Trent Thornton = $825,000
  • Catcher Danny Jansen = $1.95 million

The team officially announced the deals on their social media accounts:
