Source: #BlueJays and George Springer in agreement, pending physical
It’s happening! George Springer has signed with the Toronto Blue Jays
Uhhhhhhhh, it looks like it finally happened?
Were you expecting something along the lines of “BREAKING: Tulo traded to #BlueJays” from Ken Rosenthal to pop up randomly on your feed? Well, it was just as out-of-left-field as that, but, this time, the report is coming from our very own good friend, Brendon Kuhn…
According to a source from within the Blue Jays organization, the team has signed George Springer. Wow, it feels really nice to finally type that. You better be right, Brendon!
UPDATE:
Sources: #BlueJays now are the frontrunners to sign George Springer. @_bkuh_ and @RadioVendetta each have reported tonight that the Jays and Springer have a deal in place pending a physical exam. @MLBNetwork @MLB
Jon Morosi is reporting that the Blue Jays are the “frontrunners” but it isn’t official yet. Stay tuned…
Andy Martino notes that the Mets cooled on Springer after acquiring Francisco Lindor.
One source estimates Blue Jays stand 70 percent chance of getting Springer, based on momentum of negotiations. @Joelsherman1 reporting deal is close. @_bkuh_ reported earlier that agreement is in place. Also on it: @JonMorosi, @jonheyman.
And Ken Rosenthal gets in the mix to say it’s close…
All signs are pointing to Jays landing top target George Springer. They have bid $125M-plus and seem determined to close the deal. Would be a shocker if Mets rallied now. @Joelsherman1 used the phrase “closing in”
Another update, this time from Jon Heyman, saying the Jays have a bid that the Mets likely won’t match…
Outfielder George Springer and the Toronto Blue Jays are in agreement on a deal, sources familiar with the situation tell ESPN. Springer is headed to Dunedin for a physical. And if all goes according to plan, Toronto will get the star it’s been looking for all winter.
THERE IT IS GEORGE SPRINGER IS A BLUE JAY THIS IS NOT A DRILL!
Springer and Jays agree at $150M for 6 years
Heyman is saying it’s $150 million over six years
