I suppose you'd have a point if he were declining, but no: .295 and 29 HR's. In fact, it would seem like signing Beltran is exactly the way a big market team would operate.

Contracts Beltran signed in the past are irrelevent to this conversation.
No one is saying Beltran is a bad player, but he's not what the Blue Jays needs, but he's the type of player they will end up with because they don't have to extend him a long contract like they would some better fits. The Jays needs fielding, speed, and contact. Beltran only brings one of those things, and that's if he can continue to stay healthy at 40 years old.
