Blue Jays make big splash by adding star outfielder George Springer, reliever Kirby Yates

The Toronto Blue Jays were quiet for a lot of this offseason despite all the rumours suggesting they were in on just about every notable free agent. Well, on Tuesday, they broke the silence in a big way.

The team signed superstar outfielder George Springer to a six-year, $150 million deal, which is now the largest free agent contract in Blue Jays history. They also added veteran reliever Kirby Yates on a one-year, $5.5 million contract that includes $4.5 million in performance incentives.

Rumour is that they are also in on free agent outfielder Michael Brantley, who is close friends with Springer and apart of the same agency as him.

More to come.
