Brandon Belt\u0027s reported US$9.3\u002Dmillion salary is the kind of deal that a team being cautious about its payroll just doesn’t make
But the Belt signing, and its reported US$9.3-million salary, while relatively small, is the kind of deal that a team being cautious about its payroll just doesn’t make. It’s the contractual equivalent of looking over the dessert menu, considering a couple options and then just ordering both. “You know what, I’ll go with the Kiermaier and the Belt, thanks.” .
It certainly has been that for the Jays, who avoided spending into it even in the rollicking days of bat flips and parrot walks, of Russ Martin and Josh Donaldson and R.A. Dickey. Those teams were a little old and creaky, and as such didn’t have anyone with a long-term mega-contract of the type that really swells the payroll. They still don’t, but they are heading that way with Vladimir Guerrero, Jr.
Notably, this all comes as MLB’s traditional spending habits have been knocked a-kilter in recent years
