I hope I'm wrong. 4 years/80 mil is a lot of dough though

 

Him and his agent are using the HanRam 4 years/88 million contract as a comparable.

Ya..... However when they signed HanRam he could play a few positions. SS, 3RD, OF(Not well)

Fair enough. I wasn't aware of that, I'd be cool with that.

It better not come down to a few million. If we are willing to go 4/80 why not 4/88

 

But if it's a 5th year no thanks Jeff

 

Maybe they will go to 4/88 eventually, but if they don't they can say they made a decent offer and get the draft pick they covet.

Sounds like 4/88 is the floor. EE is looking for more. Jays presented their 4/80 as a final offer.

The Yankees won't pay 4/100? 3/90? What gives?

 

Yankees are more fiscally responsible these days. They're looking for a value power hitter now on a lesser term contract. Plus they're saving up for 2018 free agency...

I agree. Jays might have been his best offer.

 

I just dont understand his mindsight. I will be blown if he gets his 5th year, I cant imagine who it will be. Obviously if they turned it down, then they must have some interest at the 5th year.

 

I know it wouldn't be anyone else in the East. Twins, Royals, Tigers don't have the money. Whitesox are rebuilding and the Indians are better managed

 

That just leaves the West. The Astros, the Rangers, the mariners and the angels.

 

I cant imagine Rangers making a deal like the after what happened with Fielder but it would be an upgrade for them, same can probably be said for the Mariners.

 

He is definitely going to be looking at a deal out West.

4/100 is what I would push for. He is the elite bat in the market. I don't think he is worth it but he should take to teams that can win and need him. Yankees are bad, Red Sox, Jays, Cleveland, Texas

Cleveland won't be paying 25 million for any player

4 or 5 years to EE at $20M+ a year likely means bye bye JD

 

edit: after 2017, that is

 

We have JD thru 2018. He has one arb year left after this two year deal iirc.

thats true, he will be getting a significant raise after next season before becoming a free agent, no way the Jays allocate $100M+ to 4 players

JD best two years are likely the next 2, it will be downhill from there. He will be 33. You want to pay for his 33 to age 39 years?

depends

 

has he been durable

 

is he still producing

 

is there room in the budget

 

what other options are there

 

but if EE is signed multi year it is highly unlikely Jays have the budget room for JD
