Totally. Anyone who was outraged by it bought it hook, line, and sinker without thinking things through.
I don't exactly like how the Jays have approached this but I'm thinking from their perspective. When you're negotiating (and make no mistake... they're negotiating the minute Sanchez signed with Boras) with a guy like that, one of the options it to mirror what they like to do.
The Jays basically made a pretty big statement to Boras that they're not going to be tossed around the negotiating table. Boras' client paid for it. We'll see if it works out.
