Blue Jays Stuck After Jose Berrios $48 Million Decision

The Toronto Blue Jays had to know this would happen, but they’re still stuck regardless of how you frame it. Jose Berrios entered this offseason with a two-year player option on his contract. If he accepted it, it would pay him $48 million total over the next two seasons. If he declined it, he’d be a free agent. Considering Berrios’ lack of pitching recently, this was an obvious one, and now the Blue Jays have to deal with it. Jose Berrios Contract Decision Teams and their option decisions come into play on Monday, when deadlines passed for making those decisions.
