You also have to be okay with the fact that you might not end up with tickets. That's just how bargaining works though. You gotta wait it out and hope the price comes down, but sometimes you end up with nothing for waiting to long.
Either way, i'm sure there will posters on this board selling tickets for 1.5x or 2x face value.
I'm saying we were stuck with Reyes anyways for 2016 and 2017 at 22 million a year. The evaluation in question should be whether or not AA believes Tulo to be worth 54 million from 2018-2020, since that's the extra money we are taking on past the Reyes contract we would have had anyways.
Yes, because you are swapping 2.5 years of Reyes for 2.5 years of Tulo. A more important evaluation would be Tulowitzki's age 33-35 seasons for 54 million dollars. (After the Reyes contract would have been over)
There's a bucketload of quality free agent starters this offseason. Sign 2 and that's all we need. Don't blow all the money on Price. We are all set for position players. May need to sign a couple bullpen pieces.
Wishlist:
1-2 decent starters
1-2 decent bullpen arms
Jays FO constantly downplays the severity of injuries. Saunders, Travis, Buehrle this year, Bautista, Lind, Edwin, Janssen, Reyes, Johnson, Melky etc. in the past.
Exactly my thoughts. I actually DONT want Tulo back this year because I feel like he will be penciled into the lineup because of his name while providing negative value on both sides of the ball. I just can't see Tulo being able to play well enough with an injured shoulder.
