Add all that up and it sounds like Jays sign him for $18 million on a one-year deal.
As for Loup, yeah he may be a left hander but that doesn't mean he should come back. I'm a left hander and I would fill that spot in the rotation for much less than he's making.  |
Everything you said I agree with, except I don't think the Jays will be paying him 18 million. If the Jays were willing to pay him 18 M,he'd already be signed. They will ride this out to the end and get him beneath the qualifying offer or he won't be a Jay.
