Korea is not the MLB. It’s not even Japan. It’s probably not even AAA. It’s a bit of a risky move but if the Jays don’t care about spending money anymore it’s a decent risk to take.

Berries is on the block so that will clear some salary space.

but the velo, spin rate, movement, pitches etc everything thats measured applies to MLB.
nobody expects him to put up the same numbers, MLB hitters are better. but you can still predict based on his pitches tracked in Korea

good article on Cease

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6855670/2025/12/03/blue-jays-dylan-cease-contract-analysis/

In the end, though, Cease got the deal because the predictive metrics all say he’ll be good, and because he’s been healthy and shown the ability to pitch innings. If he figures out the splitter and becomes more consistent year to year, the Blue Jays might even get a bargain, but the projections bake in all those fluctuations and say it’s a market-rate deal for a top-rate arm.

i dont care about 3 years or 10 mil, his stats from 5 years ago dont matter. also never use ERA

Ponce’s massive uptick in stuff is what really got him paid (up nearly 3 ticks to 95.5 MPH average last year), but the command really stands out too. He had a strike rate of 66% or above across all four of his offerings last season

I’m a bit surprised Ponce got 3 years, but I think his kick-change is legit + velo is way up from 2021.

Fun signing for the Blue Jays (who now have a bunch of rotation options).

Cody Ponce (signed by TOR) dominated KBO this season, posting a 30.3 K-BB% across 180.2 IP and winning the triple crown. Since his last MLB outing (PIT, 2021), he has seen a +2 MPH uptick on his fastball and transformed his changeup into an elite offering

Cody Ponce’s 2025 season in the KBO was historically great:

17-1
180.2 IP
1.89 ERA
2.15 FIP
252 K’s
0.94 WHIP
Triple Crown
MVP

1 Kyle Tucker to the Blue Jays, Please

Vegas has 10 wins and 13 losses
so do the Leafs

Leafs could have been in 29th place if it wasnt for Willy

[senstrolltwo]

did not expect that, or at Least not at this point in the off season
Cease is a SO machine. Great Start to the Jays 2026 season

lost opportunity to get an important Loss
