This is what the Sportsnet network indicated during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday. In addition, the pact would include a signing bonus and the gunner could add $ 4 million in various bonuses.
Matz is 14-7 and a 3.82 earned-run average with the Toronto Blue Jays last season. In 150 two-thirds innings, he allowed 43 walks and totaled 144 strikeouts. The Jays acquired him from the New York Mets in January, but he preferred to test the free agent market instead of staying in Ontario.
The 30-year-old has maintained a 45-48 record and a 4.24 career average in major league baseball.
