I figured that after not giving David Price $31 million and not giving Mark Lowe $5.5 million (which is a steal), that they would use that remaining $36 million and the increased payroll to get, I don't know, ANYBODY! Estrada and Happ are 25 million, Thole is 800k, Chavez is making around 1.5 mill more than Hendriks, Barney's getting $1 million. So that's about $28.3 million they've spent for the upcoming year. They have around $8 million leftover (and they're owned by Rogers) and they missed out on signing Sipp, Petit, Soria (who's expensive though) or Shawn Kelley. They also lost Francis (who was bad anyways), Buehrle, and Hawkins. The bullpen is just a gaping black hole and they aren't even trying to fix it. Meanwhile the Yankees got Chapman and the Red Sox got Price, and they Jays gained 2 starters who might be decent.
