Cardinals Sign Brett Cecil To 4 Year $30 Million Deal
In the latest sign the bullpen market has exploded, veteran southpaw Brett Cecil has reportedly agreed to a four-year contract with the Cardinals. The team has not yet confirmed the news.
Cecil, 30, has spent the last eight seasons with the Blue Jays, the team that originally drafted him 38th overall in 2007 draft. He had a 3.93 ERA (110 ERA+) with 45 strikeouts in 36 2/3 innings around a torn lat muscle in 2016. This was his first venture out into free agency.
