MIAMI (Reuters) - Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Roy Halladay has signed a three-year, $40 million extension that will keep him with the club through the 2010 season, the Blue Jays said on their Web site.
The 2003 American League Cy Young Award winner will earn $10 million in 2008, $14.25 million in 2009 and $15.75 million in 2010, the team said in a statement.
Halladay posted a 12-4 record with a 2.41 earned run average in 2005. He broke his left leg in July and missed the remainder of the season.
He signed a four-year, $40 million contract in 2004 that will pay him $12.7 million this season, MLB.com reported.
