If Price and co were sincere they'd say this was the price he'd be willing to sign for as a discount. The fact that hasn't come out kinda raises an alarm. Jays are cheap, no doubt. But there's more to the story than the agent saying the Jays didn't make an offer. If he was willing to take a discount for $31M, I'm glad the Jays didn't make an offer. He's simply not worth it.

I really can't follow your logic on why you are sceptical of Price's agent. Since the start of the free-agent season the Rogers controlled media has reported to Jay's were in on Grenke, Davis, Price and looking to bolster the bullpen significantly. Since day 1 ESPN has been reporting the Jays are not in on anyone and looking to cheap out on their bullpen, and Price's agents comments only go to further support ESPN's position.
How do you get to sceptical? I'm not sure what Price's agent has to gain from that comment. Toronto clearly won't be having any other of his clients on their roster after those comments.
