I wouldn't classify either signing as a discount per se, but more so a taking on of risk from all parties. On those two deals, it has worked out quite well for the Jays.
The thing I like about Shapiro, which may or may not even be a thing, is that I get a feeling that when it comes to their next deals, the offers will be based on what he thinks they will provide moving forward, rather than an offer that includes a "make up" their "lost" earnings of their previous deals.
