How rare does this happen; when a deal works out equally well for both parties? In today's era of baseball, it's something that's extremely uncommon. Yet, it's something that appears to have been ideal for Marco Estrada and the Toronto Blue Jays.
On Friday, it was officially announced that the Jays had extended Estrada to a two-year/$26 million dollar contract. The first year of the deal will see Marco Estrada make $11 million dollars followed by $14 million in 2017.
It's also interesting to note that Estrada will receive a $1 million dollar signing bonus (due at the end of January 2016).
