It gives me hope that Toronto gives a last minute "this is the best we can do with what we're building here" offer that's a couple million a year less than the other two teams but Edwin takes it anyway for the familiarity.

I can't see it. Even a good salary for EE at this point will be close to $20 million a year.
That would put the jays at close to $150 million committed with an outfield of Pillar-Upton-Carerra and a bullpen with nobody reliable after Osuna and Grilli and where the #1 lefty is Aaron Loup. *shudder*
I keep seeing $160 million payroll for the Jays, if true $10 million wouldn't leave much room to improve those areas.
