I bet he ends up ahead. I don't understand what people are doing blaming the jays. Sure EE didn't get all he wanted but 20 per from the jays is less than 20 per from anyone else after taxes and cost of living. Jays have a decent offer, EE's agent overplayed this clients value a little bit, and he ends up with a similar deal after costs on a good team.
