The Blue Jays have signed slugger Jose Bautista to a US$64-million, five-year contract extension.
It locks up the 54 home run hitter through the 2015 season.
The 30-year-old Bautista would have been eligible for free agency after this season.
The contract is by far the largest handed out by general manager Alex Anthopoulos in his year and a half on the job.
Bautista says he truly believes in the team and their ability to compete for championships in the near future.
