Not a great market for 3rd basemen. Maybe they tried and figured it was better to keep him. Orioles didn't like the market for Machado at all. Teams are holding onto their top prospects.
If I was Donaldson Id be trying to get a long-term deal done with the Jays. They haven't signed any long term deal, imo clear sign they're going to build within. Acqtuisations like Solarte are a bridge to the next wave.

If you are Donaldson, why would you want a long term deal with the Jays? He was a very late bloomer who doesn’t really have all that much time at his prime left. He’s going to want to maximize his value to make up for the many years he made peanuts at the start of his career and he’s going to want to play for a team that is capable of winning now. For that reason, I think there’s next to no chance he re-ups in Toronto. The only thing the Jays have going for them is that I think Rogers Center inflates his stats a little and he is probably well aware of that, but he doesn’t strike me as a guy that would put stats over winning so it’s probably a mute point.
