Toronto acquired the right-hander from the Minnesota Twins at the July trade deadline. The Blue Jays wanted to lock up Berrios because he was set to become a free agent following the 2022 season.
In 12 starts with the Blue Jays, Berrios finished with a 5-4 record and a 3.58 ERA. The 32nd overall pick by the Twins in the 2012 amateur draft, Berrios has been a reliable starter since making his MLB debut.

Berríos struck out 204 in 192 innings last season. He has gone 60-47 with a 4.04 ERA in six seasons in the majors.
Berrios’ contract will be the third $100 million-plus deal in franchise history. The Blue Jays signed outfielder George Springer to a six-year, $150 million deal last offseason, and back in 2006, Vernon Wells signed a $126 million contract over seven years.
