The Toronto Blue Jays signed 12th round pick Blaine Bullard to a massive $1.7 million signing bonus and it looks like they have some big expectations for the young outfielder in his first pro season.
Back in July, the Blue Jays agreed to a contract with Bullock which included the biggest bonus ever given to a 12th round pick.
The Blue Jays gave out the highest ever signing bonus in the 12th round of the MLB draft, with $1.7 million to switch-hitting OF Blaine Bullard.
Plus speed with an above-avg glove in the outfield, the 19-year-old can raise his ceiling offensively as he adds on size.

Blue Jays expect to see a lot from Blaine Bullard in first pro season
After signing with the Blue Jays, Bullard was assigned to the Florida Complex League to begin his time with the organization but did not see any playing time in 2025.
Heading into 2026, Bullard will likely start his season in Dunedin once again but as we saw last season with Trey Yesavage, eh could end up moving through the ranks rather quickly depending on how he plays at each level.
The Blue Jays for the last few years have be known for having a weak farm system but that has change in a major way over the last couple of years with draft picks like Yesavage, Jojo Parker, Arjun Nimmala and many more.
As the Blue Jays continue to add players to their system like Bullard, their future will continue to get brighter and brighter.
Blue Jays fans are also excited to see how Bullard does in his first season of professional baseball as he could end up being the steal of the 2025 MLB draft.
