Yeah I agree Jim. If they are burning through the luxury tax threshold by signing platoon DH's for almost 10 mil it sure as s*** would make sense to sign a starting pitcher for that amount as well.
This is probably the best bench the Jays have ever had.
Belt doesn't seem like the best natural fit but at the end of the day the ABs will likely work themselves out. So if you just stack the team with the best players you can get you're just solidifying your floor to help guarantee a WC spot even if s*** hits the fan.
Jays must love him. 10 mil gets you a pretty decent #5 SP but they chose him as a DH instead.
I suppose they could still sign someone like Cueto though. At this point they are going to clear the luxury tax I think so I wouldn't be surprised to see a move like that.
Someone will want him. As little respect as I have for him as both a person and a player, bench infielders who bat left handed have some use. We could get an okay piece for him I bet.
Yeah he absolutely mashed those two years.
I wasn't sure he'd be a good fit after we picked up a couple of lefties in KK and Varsho but my guess is they plan on using him a lot as the DH?
