Russell Martin won’t be a Chicago Cub after all. The Toronto Blue Jays have stepped up agreeing to a massive five year deal worth $82 million with Martin, according to multiple reports.
Martin will earn $16.4 million per season and gets his coveted five year deal.
The Blue Jays along with the Dodgers and Cubs were the primary players from the start in the Martin sweepstakes, though, the big pocket Dodgers bailed out of the mix a few days ago with the Blue Jays eventually out-bidding the Cubs in a big way.
