This proves that he can handle an advanced workload without losing any quality as the season marches on. Having starting pitchers that can be relied on is critical in modern baseball.Jeff Passan has been on a hot-streak of breaking big news, and did so yet again via Twitter.Jeff Passan@JeffPassanBREAKING: Right-hander Chris Bassitt and the Toronto Blue Jays are in agreement on a three-year, $63 million contract, pending physical, sources familiar with the deal tell ESPN.

His game has not degraded in that time and another All-Star selection could be on the horizon. This would be excellent for both parties in this case.Since it is only a three-year deal, he will get the chance to earn himself an even bigger payday after the 2025 season. If he does live up to his All-Star potential, the Blue Jays will be thrilled with this signing.
