Roberto Hernandez is a name that still registers in MLB circles, making him the likeliest of Toronto’s Friday additions to directly impact the 2016 MLB roster. Agreeing to a minor league contract, Ben Nicholson-Smith reports that his deal comes with a base salary of $1.25 million if he’s on the active MLB roster, including $750,000 in available incentives. On top of that, the former All Star has a March 28th opt-out.
Looking at his track record, that’s not bad business for a veteran arm with the ability to make the odd spot start and contribute in a long-man role.
