Not all of Dylan Cease's $210 million deal with the Toronto Blue Jays will go against their salary cap. The Blue Jays had their first big get of the offseason last week, signing starting pitcher Dylan Cease to a seven-year deal. Dylan Cease’s $210m, 7-yr deal with the Blue Jays includes $64m in deferrals that reduce present value to $184.63m, as calculated by players union. Those deferrals reduce the present value of the contract to $184.63 million, saving the Jays more than $25 million in total. That said, these deferrals in Cease's deal will help keep that number lower than initially thought.
