Yeah this is basically a one year deal. If he has a great year then he'll decline the option, and if he's average or stinks, then the Jays will. One year is definitely less risky. Let him have a big year and then leave. No issues with that. I'll pour some liquor for the lost comp pick though. Was looking forward to 3 firsts.
-
When Kenny Ken lays it down, you know it's real. Still don't like one year plus a mutual option, but I guess if Bats would have waited until June to sign, then it left them with no choice. He was clearly the best guy available.
-
If the mutual option is after year 1, then it's basically a one year deal regardless.
-
Morales' deal was confirmed though. It just wasn't made official until later. No one has confirmed Bautista's deal to this point. It may not even be done yet.
-
In that scenario, Jays get a pick, and Bautista looks bad for bailing. Genius.
-
Maybe they told you to set up a live cam but it was unrelated to Bautista. Or baseball. I'd touch base with HR.
-
Valbuena is definitely the guy to target, not only for an upgrade at first, but he can play multiple positions, and the Jays don't have much depth. Don't think they'll have enough available funds to get him though.
-
Aren't buyouts accounted for in the present year? For example, if I am remembering this correctly, Rajai Davis had a $3mm team option and $500k buyout. Alex bought him out for $500k and then re-signed him for $2.5mm. So Davis did not lose any money, but the Jays saved $500k on the following year's payroll.
-
That doesn't seem like a trade Shapiro would have made. Have my doubts about the validity of it.
-
Yeah it's a shame that ST injury in 2015 destroyed him.
-
Carrera is on the team and Gibby loves him. He'll be starting in LF. Just typing that out disgusted me, but I know it's going to happen, so preparing for it now.
-
No. Just no. f*** no.
-
Man, if that's all they have left to spend, then Carrera/Upton is probably the LF tandem in 2017, at least to start out. I'm guessing they will want to save some money for mid-season pick ups, and players like Moss, Pagan, Valbuena, etc, will probably require at least $5m, if not more. Jose might be it as far as the off-season, unless they can save money elsewhere (damn I hate that Smoak extension).
-
Pagan would make sense now.
-
True but Toronto fans, at least the ones that showed up only when the team made the playoffs, are insufferable. Unfortunately they seem to be the most vocal in the cesspool that is Twitter and other social media outlets.
-
They made the highest offer to Edwin and got Bautista on a reasonable two year deal when he apparently wanted 150m a year ago, and people will still call them cheap and claim they want to rebuild. Toronto fans are not the brightest.
-
They need outfielders. He will probably play RF again and they'll live with the s*** defence and hope his bat comes back around. Adding another player that can platoon with Upton would be great, whether Moss or Valbuena.
-
Hope there's a team option in there.
-
How dare you mock a tournament where a catcher in his mid-30's will play SS, and two retired pitchers will pitch for Team Canada. It's totally legitimate and necessary.
-
That's possible, and I;d be fine with it if they add more minor league catching depth in Buffalo since AJ can't stay healthy. Please god no do not bring Navarro back.
-
Yeah the Jays will end up signing a catcher who has no aspirations of getting a lot of playing time so it probably won't be a good one.
-
Wouldn't surprise me. Not sure it's priority with four years of control remaining, but Shapiro has a history of signing players to team friendly deals during their arb years.
-
Iannetta signs with the D-Backs.
-
I'm surprised Shapiro is not more Ricciardi-esque with his answers given how much unnecessary crap he and Atkins get despite being good at their jobs.
-
Most WAR per dollar regardless of need makes me think Valbuena, but they'd have to concede that Smoak is useless for that to work.
