I'd be surprised if this isn't true. Glad the Jays will get a pick, and good for Edwin getting that money.

 

Astros look fantastic too.

Sad to see him go but that kind of money and term likely would be bad for our franchise in the long run.

We were talking about this in another thread but it might be deserving of its own since the other EE thread was shut down.

 

Two Spanish reporters are the only sources as of now.

They are going to be fun to watch. WS contender if they get a little more pitching help.

If true, the Astros will have a ridiculous lineup. Way too much money though.

Their already a WS contender IMO. Pitching is great already.

EE gets paid... good bye Sweet Prince!

WOW. 5/115? Cespedes contract looks a lot better now

 

Glad for Eddy that he found a high payer, good luck to him, he'll always be a Blue Jay Legend!

[BTS]

Holy f*** that's a lot of money if true.

[Governator]

There is still nothing credible here, it's still a rumour until an MLB source confirms it.

 

case in point

I'd like to point out that Dominican writers have broke stories like this before and the rumours were shot down...but they always ended up being true. I'm sure the baseball community talks a lot down there and they have heard something. We need Ang on this.
