Toronto Blue Jays fans react to team signing veteran slugger Brandon Belt to 1-year, 9.3 million dollar deal: "Waste of money", "Low risk high reward"

The Toronto Blue Jays have signed former San Francisco Giants captain Brandon Belt to a one-year contract. Belt brings 12 years of MLB experience to a young team looking to make a run at a World Series championship. With Belt struggling offensively in 2022, the Blue Jays are likely expecting him to return to form in 2023.In 2022, Brandon Belt had a batting average of .213 across the 78 games he played, a career worst. It has been a tough season for the slugger, who has proven to be very consistent in seasons past. With a change of scenery and a renewed chance at a championship, he will be given the opportunity to prove himself.Fox Sports shared the news of Belt's signing with the Toronto Blue Jays via Twitter.FOX Sports: MLB@MLBONFOXBrandon Belt is signing a 1-year deal with the Blue Jays, per @susanslusser923140Brandon Belt is signing a 1-year deal with the Blue Jays, per @susanslusser https://t.co/eemlBBhAjUThe San Francisco Giants legend will be taking his talents north of the border and looking to recapture playoff glory.

A great teammate, has pop, and comes with playoff experienceI AM CANADIAN@RobGannon85@MLBONFOX @susanslusser I like it!@MLBONFOX @susanslusser I like it!The Toronto Blue Jays are making the moves of a team that knows they need to improve. A first-round playoff exit is not acceptable with stars like Vladimir Guerrero Jr., George Springer, and Alek Manoah on the roster. Building a winning team in the MLB is incredibly difficult. However, signings like this will help the Blue Jays compete against rivals like the New York Yankees and Houston Astros.Fuck the Raiders@toronchokefanThe more players the better, I’ll take it, now more pitching please Ross. twitter.com/MLBONFOX/statu…FOX Sports: MLB@MLBONFOXBrandon Belt is signing a 1-year deal with the Blue Jays, per @susanslusser923140Brandon Belt is signing a 1-year deal with the Blue Jays, per @susanslusser https://t.co/eemlBBhAjUThe more players the better, I’ll take it, now more pitching please Ross. twitter.com/MLBONFOX/statu…Lucas Di Rocco@LucasdiroccoNice signing for the Jays!

What a signing to add to an already great offseason! twitter.com/mlbonfox/statu…San Francisco Giants fans were very sad to lose their long-time leader in free agency. Brandon Belt was a critical part of their World Series team and was one of the last players from that team remaining. Not only have they lost a player, to many it feels like the end of an era.Cookie@Cookie469645452@MLBONFOX @susanslusser Thanks for all the memories Brandon. All the spring trainings and opening days.

While he may play more than he has recently with his new team in 2023, it seems unlikely he will play in close to 100 games.The Blue Jays have high expectations for them in 2023, and now, so does Brandon Belt.
