I agree, which is why I think Bats will not get a 1 yr offer from any team other than the jays for the monetary compensation he is seeking, it just doesn't make any sense financially. The only scenario I see bats getting a 1 yr offer would be in the super low ball range of something like 8 to 10m, which he definitely will not sign. However, I could see a team in need offering in the range of a 1 yr 16m pro rated deal in june, with no pick attached, which wouldn't be much of a pay cut.
