David Phelps has been great since he's been back and healthy. We got a sweet team option with him too.
I wonder if his name is involved in any talks right now, either by himself, or as a sweetner to get other teams to pony up more for Stro or Giles.
I'm cool having Donaldson back on a one year deal.
I think the Jays will be a better team next year. More depth. More prospects pushing to be in the Majors.
It'll be a fun off season.
Who's bigger dead weight as a DH moving forward ... Tulo or Morales.
I think we just gotta cut weight with Morales and keep Tulo as the DH and maybe have him play sparingly in the field.

Need another outfielder or two and a backup catcher.
2018
Wade Davis 16.0
Bryan Shaw 7.5
Michael Dunn 7.0
Jake McGee 7.0
Adam Ottavino 7.0
44.5 million to 5 relievers.
Crazy. Let's trade them Stroman for a massive haul as soon as possible.
I don't want to ever see Donaldson traded, but just for the hypothetical ... What teams would make a play for him, and what could we even realistically get.
I could see maybe the Dodgers, Astros, Cardinals
If extra salary is gonna be available, do you guys think it would be worth taking on some potentially bad money like James Shields and David Robertson if it meant getting Adam Eaton for a lesser package. Melky could be another guy they would would want to unload.
