The only thing I'd say about that is that it's always been hard for the Jays (Raptors too) to sign the bigger fish on the FA market. Berrios is a bigger fish. This 1.5 years gives them time to sell the Jays, Toronto, and Canada to Berrios. If they really want to have him here long term, there's a better chance of re-signing him rather than signing him as a FA. Just my opinion.
