The Blue Jays signed Yunel Escobar to a two-year, $10 million extension:
Escobar will receive $5-million in both 2012 and 2013. The deal includes two club options of $5-million for 2014 and 2015.
This is a pretty good deal for the Blue Jays, as over his career Escobar produced much more value that $5 million per year. I do worry, however, that his batting and fielding have degraded a bit over the last two seasons. If they bounce back, this is a steal. If not, the Jays will let him go after the 2013 season.
