"Now armed with an elite rotation that features Cease, Kevin Gausman, Trey Yesavage, Shane Bieber, and José Berrios, the Toronto Blue Jays figure to be right back in the World Series mix in 2026. That unit alone is strong enough to power them through the AL East, and their high-powered offense should remain a team-wide strength, especially if Bo Bichette makes his way back to Canada on a similar contract."
"At a minimum, the Blue Jays get a solid middle-of-the rotation starter to go with Kevin Gausman, Trey Yesavage, Shane Bieber and Jose Berrios. The good version of Cease is a No. 2 starter who sometimes looks like an ace. If Bieber is healthy for the entire season and Berrios' late-season elbow inflammation was just temporary, that's a rotation that could be as good as any in the game."
Dylan Cease agreed to a seven-year, $210 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, pending a physical. The deal is the second-largest in franchise history and adds one of the top pitchers on the free-agent market. The Blue Jays' rotation now includes Cease, Kevin Gausman, Trey Yesavage, Shane Bieber and José Berrios, creating an elite unit expected to contend for the 2026 World Series. The rotation depth paired with a high-powered offense improves the team's prospects, particularly if Bo Bichette signs similarly. The signing received a B grade, with concerns about committing large money to a pitcher entering his thirties.
