Toronto WILL NOT be signing Brantley

[Deadpool]

I'm still really okay with not signing Brantley. Yeah, he'd have been good, but I don't think he'd necessarily have been better than our internal options. If we're going to add a bat, it should be an infield bat.

Yeah I think the stuff about winning with Houston is just puffery. I want he took the highest AAV and is just betting that he'll still be able to get a deal two years from now

 

I have a feeling we probably had the highest offer too (dunno after any tax difference), but he really wanted to remain in Houston. He probably told them he was going to sign with us unless they came close, and they did. It would explain at least some people in the front office clearly believing they had signed him.

Houston should have offered him the QO if they were willing to pay 2/32.
