Cease’s $210 Million Deal with Blue Jays Includes $64 Million in Deferred Money Payable Through 2046
The Blue Jays secured a rotation featuring Shane Bieber, Dylan Cease, and Cody Ponce, with Cease signing a $210 million deal, creating one of MLB's deepest staffs in 2026.
- The Blue Jays confirmed on Dec. 2, 2025, that Shane Bieber will stay, and Cease signed a seven-year, US$210 million deal, while Ponce agreed to a three-year, $30 million contract.
- After a deep postseason run that nearly produced a title, Toronto won the AL East this year and came within two outs of a World Series, with Bieber conceding the go-ahead homer in Game 7 at Rogers Centre.
- Payroll details show Cease gets a $23 million signing bonus payable on Jan. 15 and $64 million in deferred salaries with final payment in 2046.
- At a Make-A-Wish Foundation event in Toronto, George Springer said adding Cease shows the club’s direction and will be 'huge' in the clubhouse, but cautioned, `I mean, that's the goal, obviously, but to get to the World Series is hard`.
- Adding Ponce also matters because the 2025 KBO MVP Cody Ponce with Hanwha Eagles joins Kevin Gausman, Trey Yesavage and José Berríos, projecting one of MLB's deepest 2026 rotations.
