Rumour Mill: Cecil Signs With St. Louis

Brett Cecil

I don't have an update on Edwin Encarnacion or Jose Bautista, but I do have some news involving Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher, Brett Cecil.

Apparently, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports is reporting that Cecil has agreed to a four-year, $30.5 million contract with the St. Louis Cardinals.

$30.5 million?

That's quite a bit of money for a mediocre relief pitcher.

To be honest, I feel Cecil is not a top notch pitcher.

I think Steve Delabar and Aaron Sanchez are better relievers, especially Sanchez.  He helped the Blue Jays get to the American League Championship Series (ALCS) again this year.

Oh well, if the reports are true, it is St. Louis's problem, not the Jays.

Hopefully for Card fans, Cecil has better success in St. Louis.
