Will he give enough to Melky to convince him to stay, go after Aoki or is there some other player out there that makes sense???? or will AA just stand pat and let the kids play LLF and CF??
if they make the playoffs next year some players will start changing their minds. if the jays win 79 games and are third in the east, it will be the same thing next off season.
I am not a huge fan of bringing in Sadoval, but I really dont want him to be killing us 19 games a year either. Aren't there any NL teams that can outbid the Red Sox?
A lot of fans forget that some guys just wont sign for the Jays. I'm pretty sure the list isn't as bad as it used to be, especially after signing RM, but there are still guys who just wont come.
If the Jays sign Sanodval Lawrie can stop complaining about having to move back and forth between 2nd and 3rd? lol
I wonder what mr Red Bull thinks about all of this...
the problem is that some people just have to pretend they know more even if they really dont. the same people who are whining about this signing would be whining if the Jays traded a top prospect to bring in Russell.
2016 almost all the contracts that the jays have today will be off the books. Jays need a couple more pieces this year and now have the money there to make a couple more moves to take a run this year without hurting them going forward.
expect Melky or Aoki to be signed to play LF.
Difference... Rogers has a budget of whatever dollar amount they decide and the money is already going to be there. they could afford to pay it up front if they wanted too and budget less in the future? They are shifting cost and have the money available....
and then we have you and the fact than you will NEVER have the money to buy a Porsche?
this entire discussion could be irrelevant if Rogers has decided to have increased investment. Our farm looks healthy at this point and adding Dollars is cheaper and a better bet than trading talent.
it's amazing that some of the people who bitched about the trades made 2 years ago because the Jays let talent go and now they are bitching because the the Jays spent money.
I just dont have enough cheese to go with all of the whine.
