This year's World Series runner-up Toronto Blue Jays agreed to a seven-year, $210 million (KRW 307.6 billion) contract with FA Dylan Sheath on the 27th (Korea time), prompting a flurry of disparaging opinions.

Local media outlet The Athletic said on the 28th that `Dylan Siege overcharges Blue Jays on undulating starters,' `Toronto would expect to see the greatest potential the San Diego Padres failed to enjoy by signing Siege, but only one season in his career has he played a match for this amount.'

Sizz's career high is 2022 after debuting in 2019 with the Chicago White Sox and playing his first full-season rotation of 2021. He pitched 184 innings in 32 games that year, marking 14-8 with a 2.20 ERA, 227 strikeouts and a WHIP of 1.11, ranking second behind Houston Astros Justin Verlander (18-4, 1.75) in the AL Cy Young Award voting.




However, since then, it has been a difficult season to be considered an ace. He slowed down with a 4.58 ERA in 177 innings in 2023 and seemed to recover with a 3.47 ERA in 189 ⅓ innings in 2024, when he moved to San Diego, but he was sluggish with a 4.55 ERA in just 168 innings in 32 games this season.

Columnist Keith Law, who wrote the article, wrote 'Sease is a very durable pitcher and has never missed a start since his debut in 2019. He has started 162 games since 2020, the pandemic season, and has pitched a lot of innings in a season when his ERA soared, increasing his value even though 'But with his record, it may not be what Toronto wants. Most of his career did not meet expectations. In other words, the ERA was not better than the expectations it could have in light of the strikeout and walk ratio. Of the past five seasons, it was except for 2022,' he explained.

Siz had a 3.88 ERA, a WHIP of 1.27 and a 0.2225 hit rate in 1,015 ⅓ innings. The strikeout ratio to walks is 2.86, which means that the overall ERA is high compared to that. It's a proof that he's in a jagged condition. In fact, he has not completed five out of 32 games this season. There are also 10 games in which he has allowed more than four runs.

Nevertheless, Toronto made 'Overpay' to Seeds because the starters do not deserve it, and the main starters will have to become FA after next year and rebuild it.

Kevin Gausman and Jose Berrios, who have played a total of 62 games this year, will throw next year, but Shane Bieber has just returned from Tommy John Surgery, so there will be a limit to pitching innings, and rookie Trey Isavage, who has been in the spotlight this postseason, will now begin to be read by hitters, so adaptation and adjustment are needed. In addition, Gausman and Bieber will become FA at the end of next season.

Toronto, which signed a 14-year, $500 million extension contract with its star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. earlier this year, is gaining more momentum in strengthening its power by becoming the AL champion this season.




Toronto who brought Siz and built a rotation 'Top 3': Shortstop??They are also seeking to renew their contracts. Rain is rated second and third in FA field. It is highly likely to exceed the total amount of $200 million. It is not yet known whether Toronto is an aggressive investment or impatience, but it is safe to say that it has driven the market into an overheated atmosphere.

With Siz's contract, which local leading media expected to be difficult to receive more than $200 million, the contracts of similar or high-level FA starters Framber Valdez, Imai Matsuya, Ranger Suarez and Michael will also be significantly affected.
