Free agent pitcher Dylan Cease and the Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to a seven-year, $210 million contract, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Wednesday night.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal was pending a physical and had not been announced.

Cease would join an excellent rotation with the reigning American League champions. The right-hander, who turns 30 next month, went 8-12 with a 4.55 ERA in 32 starts last season for the San Diego Padres.
He struck out 215 batters and walked 71 in 168 innings.
