Not following the Jays as close as usual, but can anyone tell me why the Jays wouldn't be re-signing Stroman?

They have zero pitching depth, he wants to be there, he's performing well and he's only 28 and will still likely be quite productive when the young core is more competitive in 3 or 4 years... also they have almost no committed payroll after Tulo, Martin and Morales deals dry up. Why not lock him up and make him a leader for the rebuild instead of committing a big chunk of the money in 13 mil a year to a guy like Grichuk?

They'll trade a good 200 inning guy for a couple lotto tickets... seems like the prospects teams are willing to move in those deals rarely pan out, makes no sense to me... but like I said not following them closely.
