Geez, looking at it now though, it's not a difference of $5M he could get on the open market, it's a difference of $75M! If I were him and I wanted that extra dough, I'd decline the offer. It's good on him that he appears to be taking the discount and signing here though. Unfortunately, it's still a lot of dough, and he won a no trade clause, which really throws a curve into possible trades down the road. Now, how are the Jays supposed to get starters and a capable shortstop?
