Mlbtr: The Blue Jays and Red Sox are discussing a deal that would send veteran starter David Price to Toronto, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. While Rosenthal is quick to note that an official move isn’t close yet, it’s nonetheless notable that Price is in play for a Blue Jays team that has made abundantly clear its desire to upgrade the starting rotation. The Athletic: The three months David Price spent with the Blue Jays in 2015 were among the most enjoyable of his career. The Jays are in a different place now, with a different front office. Price, 34, is more expensive and less durable. But he again might prove a solution for Toronto, which is exploring all avenues to improve its starting pitching. The signing of free-agent left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu remains one possibility for the Jays, but the team also is talking to the Red Sox about a trade for Price, according to major-league sources. A deal only will come to fruition if the clubs agree on how much the Red Sox will pay of the $96 million remaining in the final three years of Price’s contract. Such an agreement is not close at this time, and the Red Sox are talking to other clubs about Price and examining different options as well, sources said. Trading Price would help the Red Sox get closer to their stated goal of falling below the $208 million luxury-tax threshold in 2020.

It's perfect If he doesn't bounce back, hes a reasonably priced stop gap you can let walk after one year If he does bounce back you get to keep him

And he has an option left? Win-win-win This could turn out to be our best signing of the off season

Yes Plus if he bounces back you have years of control after

The Detroit Tigers have completed their coup of the Twins’ right side, agreeing to a one-year deal with first baseman C.J. Cron, per Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press. This deal matches the one made with Schoop, coming in at $6.1MM

And make sure he doesn't waste energy or risk hurting himself running hard to 1B on pop ups

The Indians have informed clubs that have pursued Lindor that they want their “best and final offers so they can make an assessment over the weekend,” Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic writes

Are the Mets/Cespedes reducing his salary via internal nogotiations or did they try something like this too?

Clevinger only expcted to get ~ $4.5M as an arb-1 this year. Still so cheap... Lindor is getting expensive though

Hurry up before the Dodgers trade for Clevinger and Lindor in a double franchise-shattering move

Gerrit Cole showing the sign he brought to watch the Yankees play in 2001:

Had it been 14M and 10M would have blown my f'n mind tho

I agree except for the fact he hired Montoyo. He left one of the best managers in baseball back in Cleveland.

That's possible. Pretty sure everyone knew he was going back to Washington. But maybe they told his agent they were willing to make a competitive offer.

He pretty much said it wasn't Cole when they pressed him. Said signing Cole would have a been a "very long shot" I'm guessing Wheeler

Jays told an agent that they were willing to offer a contract worth "well over $100MM" to someone, probably a SP, this off season.

Nice

Well alrighty then
