TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays have signed right-handed pitcher Jose Berrios to a US$131-million, seven-year contract.

The Blue Jays made the deal official today after it was widely reported Tuesday that the two sides had come to an agreement.

Berrios, who was set to become a free agent after the 2022 season, was acquired in late July from the Minnesota Twins. 

Berrios was effective and reliable over 12 starts with Toronto, posting a 5-4 record and 3.58 earned-run average.

The extension provides some long-term stability for a rotation that could look significantly different next season.
