3/$42M 

Almost exactly what MLBTR and Fangraphs predicted

Reasonable price but I like our deal for Santander better

Santander fits the Jays lineup better than Profar. Jays needed a masher who could hit 30-40 HR's.

Reasonable deal for Profar - right around what was expected.  If he sustains the gains he made last year, he'll be a steal.

Ozuna clogs up their DH spot though - where Profar should probably play on a regular basis.

I like the upside play in getting Profar at that price and those years.

Also, I think Acuna might not be 100% healthy for the start of the season, so was a good idea going after another outfielder. 

Plus, Harris seems like he's a bit injury prone and Kelenic still has been a disappointment at the MLB level.

Too bad Profar can't play SS anymore.
