The Blue Jays' signing of star outfielder George Springer, the biggest financial commitment in franchise history, included some front-loading, a signing bonus and performance bonuses. ShiDavidi has the full details:

on Saturday, a deal that includes some front-loading of the biggest financial commitment in franchise history.

Performance bonuses for Springer include $150,000 if he is named MVP, $125,000 if he finishes second, $100,000 if he is third and $75,000 if he is fourth. Each selection as an all-star, Gold Glove winner, Silver Slugger and World Series MVP is worth an extra $50,000, and he has an eight-team no-trade clause.

The Blue Jays remain on the hunt for more talent, with additional pitching and an infielder the priorities. Budget in an additional $10 million or so for the club’s pre-arbitration players, and the team is sitting at roughly $117 million before making any additional adds.
