Cody Ponce Agrees to Three-Year Deal With Blue Jays
Free-agent right-hander Cody Ponce agreed to a three-year, $30 million deal with the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday, a source told Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Ponce is the second big pitching acquisition that Toronto has made this offseason after adding right-handed starter Dylan Cease to a big seven-year contract worth over $200 million. The 31-year-old Ponce was a former second-round pick by the Milwaukee Brewers back in 2015. He'll be returning to the big leagues for the first time since 2021. In his 20 MLB appearances, Ponce had a 5.86 ERA with a 1.54 WHIP and 48:17 K:BB over 55 1/3 innings. He played three years in Japan and last season in Korea, where he had a fantastic 1.89 ERA and 0.94 WHIP over 180 2/3 innings to earn the league's MVP award. Ponce struck out 252 hitters. Toronto is hoping his swing-and-miss stuff the last few years overseas will translate to the AL East.
