I agree on the Semien front. He's played his cards so close to his chest and it's been reported that he's already turned down offers from the Jays to reach the market. So it's hard to get a read on if he even wants to come back.

I obviously don't know what the Jays are willing to spend but I would think the ability to unload Grichuks 10.3 might play into what the Jays are willing to offer for both.

But then it kind of gets scary thinking about if they do sign them, they'll likely have 100 million tied up in Ryu, Springer, Ray, and Semien. And it's not like Bo, Teo, and Vladdy's arbitration years are going to be cheap the way they're going. So you gotta wonder if Rogers wants a ~200 million(American) payroll...
