Does Rosenthal get paid per word? Because he used a whole lot of words to say not much at all. Really the Jays submitted a number that would effectively tie Donaldson for the highest arbitration award ever for a 2nd time eligible player that's not a number that should get anyone's hackles up.

He's basically calling the Blue Jays cheap in that article and saying he doesn't understand why they go about their business with their franchise players the way they do. You can put any spin on it you want, but the Jays looks like clown show to everyone outside the Rogers world. Rosenthal is a pretty respected baseball guy.
Every single action the team has made this summer points towards a large reduction in payroll coming possibly as soon as next year is over. I think their are some dark days ahead for us Jays fans, so hopefully we put together another run this year. Jose and Edwin are likely going to walk when they get low-balled (if we aren't in contention, these guys need to be traded), Tulo will be shipped out assuming they can find a taker, and I have a hard time believing Donaldson won't be running out the door when he finally get his free agency after being nickle and dimed for the past 4 years. He's going to want to collect, especially given he was an extremely late bloomer.
Toronto is going to be an absolute circus this summer if the Jays don't start out well and stay in contention. The local market is already frothing at the mouth over a lack of action this summer and Price not being offered anything. Their call in shows are already an absolute gong show and spring training isn't even here yet. Shapiro and Atkins will take all the blame, but we all know whose orders they are simply carrying out.
