Cecil 3.8 M

#BlueJays avoid arb with Brett Cecil per source. $3.8 million

[BTS]

Damn, I was kind of hoping for multi-year deal for Cecil.

[HERPDERP]

Having Delabar on board for only 800k is a good choice. The guy still throws hard and can be a mop-up guy at worst.

 

2.9 million for a dead guy is absurd

[Frenchsoup]

Jays got those guys pretty cheap imho

[G-Snarls]

Damn, I was kind of hoping for multi-year deal for Cecil.

 

Me too but with how good he's been I doubt you'd be able to sign him to anything in the range of 3.8M AAV or even have the first year that cheap

[BTS]

Jays got those guys pretty cheap imho

 

Not really. All have been at it over projections.

[G-Snarls]

Jays got those guys pretty cheap imho

 

Not too bad

 

At least now they can afford Donaldson

[G-Snarls]

Donaldson lost his arbitration case last year

 

If you're his agent do you roll the dice again this year?? (obv depends on what Jays are offering on a 1 year deal but...)

[BTS]

Me too but with how good he's been I doubt you'd be able to sign him to anything in the range of 3.8M AAV or even have the first year that cheap

 

Would have probably been something like 5,7,7,7. Does 4/26 for an arb and three FA years sound about right?

[glory]

Cecil probably sees where the market is and wants his turn next winter. If he has a typical Cecil season, he's going to get paid.

[BigCecil]

It's a lot of guys too. As a reminder:

 

Brett Cecil

Jesse Chavez

Steve Delabar

Josh Donaldson

Drew Hutchison

Aaron Loup

Michael Saunders

Drew Storen

 

Part of the reason the napkin math on resigning Edwin and Jose for 2017 is so tough. I think we have 8 guys at league min on so. But if Hutch can put together a solid 2016 he and others gonna get paid in arb. for 2017. And we will need to replace Cecil. Oh well....Rogers and Shapiro's job to wade through it.

[burlingtonbandit]

Is it Tinnish who is the main guy doing contract negotiation and arb. for the Jays?

[Stangstag]

Saunders feels like an overpayment. The dude played like 10 games last year

[Frenchsoup]

If he plays 90 games this year he'll probably be worth what we've payed him the past 2 years.

[Frenchsoup]

Not really. All have been at it over projections.

 

Well Storen is making 5.7M in his final year of arb, I don't see Storen being 2M better then Cecil in the big picture.

[G-Snarls]

We kind of need him to since we jettisoned Revere

[G-Snarls]

well storen is making 5.7m in his final year of arb, i don't see storen being 2m better then cecil in the big picture.

 

$avez

 

Edit: I forgot, he keeps losing the closer's role

[burlingtonbandit]

Well Storen is making 5.7M in his final year of arb, I don't see Storen being 2M better then Cecil in the big picture.

 

pretty sure Storen is making quite a bit more than that. Arb. is all about Saves for relievers.

 

Edit: There you go, 8.375 for Storen.

[G-Snarls]

[G-Snarls]

Ouch re Storen

[G-Snarls]

Who has time to add up the payroll as it stands without Donaldson??

[gbill2004]

Ouch re Storen

Storen was projected to get $8.8 million. We saved half a million.

[Ehjays]

Storen was projected to get $8.8 million. We saved half a million.

 

We don't save at all, cause the nationals were gonna make up the difference anyway.

[gbill2004]

We don't save at all, cause the nationals were gonna make up the difference anyway.

I thought they threw in $2 million.

[flafson]

We don't save at all, cause the nationals were gonna make up the difference anyway.

 

Maybe the deal was, if you save any arbitration money then no need to send another player later, if arbitration is above X amount, we will pay the difference but you gotta send a player.

If that's the case, by saving money we may not need to ship out another player in the deal.

[Frenchsoup]

I thought they threw in $2 million.

 

Nats will give the difference between Revere and Storen's arb

[Brownie19]

We don't save at all, cause the nationals were gonna make up the difference anyway.

 

If that was the case (and it was open ended) - they should have settled for $14M, made the Nats pony up the money, split the profit with Storen and used the left over to sign Blanton!!!
