No surprises, he's not happy with the length of the potential contract
I would like to think he had money set aside for offseason SP targets when he gave up cheap help in Norris and Hoffman. It is certainly possible he gambled and won some goodwill and cash after the fact.
If Buehrle turns down a qualifying offer then retires do the Jays get any additional draft pick? I don't recall the Mariners getting anything when Morales signed after the compensation deadline but was curious if anyone knows.

An obstacle for #Padres in trading Shields: Some clubs believe he would go unclaimed on waivers due to remaining $3 yr/$65M obligation.

LHP Randy Wolf, last seen in AAA w #Angels, signed a minor lg deal with Blue Jays, according to brother Jim, an ump. Good luck to a good guy
If there is a good chance of the procedure being successful I don't see the harm in trying to come back soon and have another surgery in the offseason if needed.
