I don't think Shatkins wants Stroman back, and I don't think Stroman wants to go back to a team run by Shatkins. I don't see it happening. Plus, with his recent injury and the shortened season, he's probably accepting the QO anyway.
Bauer is the real target, and if he truly wants to go year to year even in free agency, then it might work to the Jays benefit. Or they could sign him for a year and then lose him. Curious to see if Trev really does that.
