Josh Donaldson is once again in the news. The 2015 American League MVP Award winner has reportedly agreed to a two-year, $29 million deal with the Blue Jays, which will effectively buy out his first two years of arbitration. This is a very lucrative deal for someone reaching arbitration for the first time, but Donaldson isn’t just any other player. He’s been a top-10 MVP finisher three years running, and his unusual career arc makes him arguably the most impressive late bloomer in baseball history.
