AP source: Springer agrees to $150M, 6-year deal with Jays

Outfielder George Springer became the most prominent among baseball's free agents to reach an agreement, a $150 million, six-year contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. Springer, who turned 31 in September, is a three-time All-Star who spent his entire seven-season career with Houston and was World Series MVP when the Astros beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in seven games for their first title in 2017. A slow free agent market saw only 21 of 181 players who became free agents following the World Series enter Tuesday with finalized agreements.
