Baseball is odd. In the current environment those guys are worth closer to $35 million/season. I get saving money and all, but some of these negotiations on those low salaries for players they'll be at the mercy of in a year (who they also want to build around), comes across as unnecessary. There's probably a good reason but a guy like Bo will walk. He has no ties to Toronto. Vlad will stay because of his familiarity with the city and culturally Dominican high regard for the city should help their cause. Regardless, not sure why nickle and diming them in this situation where they completely hold the cards.
