Of course the Jays offense was also totally ridiculous last year. Even a 10% decline and they'd still be a great offense, but probably not good enough to be a playoff team. It's gonna be a very thin line between making and missing the playoffs next year. A guy like Price is someone who pushes you over the top.

Of course and in a perfect world you'd love Price but a perfect world for me doesn't include signing him until he is 38 at 30 mill bucks a year. Next offseason Martin, Tulo, Donaldson and Price alone would have accounted for 85 million between 4 players. that woudl be almost 60% of the payroll in 4 guys.
Its a brutal division but I think the Jays are keeping pace. Orioles don't look better, Red Sox are better but have alot of ground to make up and I woudn't call the Yankees better. I think the Jays are right there with the moves they've made so far and like I said I expect more.
