Q&A with George Springer, the brand-new, very expensive and finally healthy Toronto Blue Jay
His record-setting deal marks a turning point for the Blue Jays from pretenders to contenders
The six-year, $150-million contract you signed in January makes you the most expensive free-agent acquisition in Toronto sports history. What was it like to sign that deal?
Extremely exciting. People look at the dollars and the years, but for me it’s much more than that. Since the Jays are the only major league team in Canada, we’re playing for an entire country. It’s an honour. And I can’t say enough about the young guys the team already has in place.
