Jays have a very respectable front office. They'll give Hill one more chance on a 1 year deal to prove if he's part of the core moving forward. AA declined his option for 3 more years and I believe is set to become a free agent next year with club options for the next two years. I say they'll decline next year and re-sign him to a short term contract.
I am one of those people who believe we shouldn't spend too much money on a pitcher who only plays 1 inning. AA said in the interview he agrees with that consensus. I can however see McGowan moving to a bull pen role, who knows maybe even as a closer.
And yeah the Jays desperately need a top end pitcher to compete in the AL Beast.
