What a frustrating waste.
Hopefully if the Jays truly aren't interested because they are cheap, Price comes out and says that he wanted to be back but the Jays weren't interested. The team will deserve the bad PR that would come with that, along with the destruction of all the goodwill generated from last season's run.

I want so badly to sign Price and get super excited about next season, but if we do lose the sweepstakes I'd love to see sportsnet get caught towing the company line again.
"Hello and welcome to sportsnet connected, after a hard fought battle and intense negotiations the Jays lost out on David Price who will reportedly sign with another team in the next few days. Sources tell us that despite the lofty offers put up by Blue Jays, David simply chose to be closer to home".
"I had a really great time in Toronto, loved the city, the fans, and wanted to continue to play there but ultimately there was no offer extended so I turned my attention to a small list of teams and will make a decision this week".
