Blue Jays announce they have agreed to terms on a contract renewal with their pitcher

Source: Cuban RHP Lazaro Estrada has renewed his contract with the Toronto Blue Jays for two years.

Estrada has made great progress in 2024 season with 3.29 ERA, 98.1 IP, 113 SO.

Estrada was chosen among the Blue Jays' top prospects to play in the Arizona Fall League.

Beginning the 2024 campaign in Dunedin, Estrada made two rehab starts in single-A before being sent across the country (and North of the border) to high-A Vancouver. He made nine starts for the Canadians, posting a 1.96 ERA through 41 1/3 innings and even tossed a complete game, seven-inning no-hitter against the Tri-City Dust Devils.
In mid-July, the Jays promoted Estrada to double-A New Hampshire where he made 11 starts for the Fisher Cats - amassing a 4.47 ERA to the tune of a 1.261 WHIP and a 9.5 K/9. He was recently named to the Arizona Fall League roster, his first time heading to the prospect-laden league, and will join seven other Jays prospects heading to the desert for October baseball. He will likely be used sparingly in Arizona considering he pitched a career-high 98 1/3 innings this year and has an injury history.
