Belt had season-ending knee surgery - the third of his career - in early September. The Toronto Blue Jays added some depth to their lineup on Monday night, reportedly signing veteran left-handed hitter Brandon Belt to a one-year, $9.3 million contract, according to multiple sources.

Belt will join the Blue Jays on a one-year deal, making $9.3 million next season, per reports.

While the Jays remain heavily right-handed, Belt will join added lefty hitters Daulton Varsho and Kevin Kiermaier to balance out the lineup. Injury issues have hampered the 34-year-old throughout his 12-season MLB career, but the Jays won't expect Belt to be an everyday player in 2023. Across 2020 and 2021, Belt posted a .988 OPS with 38 homers in 148 games.

Les Blue Jays de Toronto et le vétéran joueur de premier but Brandon Belt ont convenu d'un contrat d'un an, selon L'Athlétisme Kaitlyn McGrath.

Le joueur de 34 ans a été le plus récemment précieux en 2021 lorsqu’il a réduit 0,274/0,378/0,597 avec 29 circuits et 59 points produits en 97 matchs. Le vétéran a raté un temps considérable en raison de diverses blessures, avec une moyenne de 75 matchs disputés au cours des trois dernières saisons. Belt rejoint Kevin Kiermaier et Daulton Varsho en tant qu’autres frappeurs gauchers acquis en agence libre et par le commerce, avec les voltigeurs Teoscar Hernandez et Lourdes Gurriel expédiés dans des transactions distinctes. [Susan Slusser de la Chronique de San Francisco](//twitter.com/susanslusser/status/1612627608637677568) a été le premier à rendre compte de l’accord en cours, notant qu’il devrait être officiellement annoncé par les Blue Jays mardi. C’était la troisième intervention sur le genou de Belt et sa première depuis 2018. Belt a subi une opération au genou en septembre et a déclaré qu’il envisageait la saison 2023 après jouer seulement 78 matchs pour les Giants cette dernière campagne.

The long-time San Francisco Giant has battled injuries lately, but could give Toronto some power off the bench at a bargain price.

In a couple months, we’ll begin to find out whether these changes were for the better. None were to blame for the Jays’ early exits, but their departures still deemed necessary to create room for a new group of players and a fresh look for their roster. After disappointing endings to each of the last two seasons, it was predictable that the Jays were going to shake up their roster this winter. According to FanGraph's Roster Resource, the Jays are approximately $9 million over the $233-million competitive tax balance threshold, and they might not be done shopping quite yet.

It’s a gamble but one they can afford considering the depth elsewhere on the roster. The problem is that injuries have prevented Belt from being a regular contributor each of the past two years. Belt has consistently been well-above average hitter since breaking into the league in 2011, but his performance went to another level from 2020-21. at first base and he gives the Jays a potential big bat off the bench, a luxury they haven’t experienced in recent years. The 34-year-old Belt likely will become the Jays’ designated hitter whenever Alejandro Kirk is behind the plate. Belt, who hit free agency after playing 12 seasons for the San Francisco Giants, will earn $9.3 million (U.S.) in 2023.

Jusqu'ici, Belt a disputé toute sa carrière dans l'uniforme des Giants de San Francisco.

L'an dernier, il gagnait un salaire supérieur à 18 millions de dollars. Il touchera un salaire de 9,3 millions à Toronto. Le joueur de premier but Brandon Belt a conclu une entente d'un an avec les Blue Jays de Toronto.

The 34-year-old had spent the past 12 seasons with the Giants, including two World Series titles (2012, 2014) and an All-Star game appearance in 2016.
