Seems kinda silly to argue over $450,000 with the reigning MVP, but with the way it looks like the Jays are going to be run now, it shouldn't be too surprising. |
Seems like click bait actually. Like was said, the Jays are offering the highest arbitration award ever. This will have no impact on future relations with Donaldson and is just the usual national sportswriters trying to stir the Blue Jays large online presence into a frenzy and get some page views. Happens every off-season.

I think both Bautista and Encarnacion will be gone by trade deadline this year and maybe tulo or Donaldson by deadline next year.

Right - the Jays are going to trade off two star hitters in a year when they have a championship caliber line-up. It's possible they trade off one of them if things implode early and the Jays don't feel they can sign both guys next off-season, but I don't foresee any scenario where they trade both. It's absolutely hilarious to suggest they are going to trade Tulo/Donaldson on top of that too. Where is all this extra money going then?
Stop drinking the kool aid. Just because Shapiro is here doesn't mean the payroll is dropping down to $90 million. Fools were already claiming that would happen this off-season and the Jays have actually raised payroll (and significantly if you factor in the brutal Canadian dollar).
