Blue Jays IF/OF Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is a polished prospect with versatility
Gurriel was acquired by the Blue Jays in the international free agent market. There is traditionally a bonus pool allocated to players which acts as a soft cap, but the Jays managed to wait until he turned 23. That way, this did not use any space within that cap due to his age.
He signed for 7 years, $22M and it’s worth noting that that figure sits as more of a guaranteed value. He has the option to opt out into arbitration should he be performing well.
