The Toronto Blue Jays welcomed an exciting new player to their roster on Tuesday.

After the team agreed to its largest-ever free agent contract to bring in frontline starter Dylan Cease, it hosted a press conference with the player from the Major League Baseball Winter Meetings in Orlando.

“Cease, who signed a seven-year, $210 million deal on Dec. 2, showered praise on the Blue Jays, calling them his best opportunity to reach his full potential,” Keegan Matheson reported for MLB.com. “This is a new era of Blue Jays baseball. As crushing as that Game 7 loss to the (Los Angeles) Dodgers was in the World Series, the Cease signing has kicked the Blue Jays back into fifth gear.”
