For that price, may as well have kept J. Johnson...he couldn't have had much worse of a year next year, could he?
(Yes, Romero says hi).
If it's the mythical 5 year that made this a non starter before $ was event talked about, just perpetuating the sterotype of Toronto being a (further) unattractive place to play for any top FA's, no matter how long or short of a contract they want.
AA looks good for the new bean counters at Rogers for holding firm on this principle, which may keep him around longer as a result of being fiscally responsible, but at some point, if there are no results (no matter the 5 year policy or not), it will be baseball operations that have to let him go.
