Here is the smartest move for the Jays to consider. Price + Benintendi + 5M relief for 3 years.
Solves the weak outfield problem over the duration of the 'window' of the infield players. The Jays can also absorb that contract for three years, while slotting Price as the #1 pitcher year one, and the #5 pitcher year three. Barring time off for his inevitable yearly injuries.
Would the Red Sox trade inside their own division?

Substituting Benintendi provides eight or nine wins over the next three years with around $25 million in total salary over the next three seasons. Benintendi’s value then sits in the $50 million range above his expected pay. Packaging Benintendi with Price and maybe $5 million per year is pretty close to a fair deal.
