If he wasn’t represented by Boras, I think he’d give it a thought. Boras is regularly whispering in his ear about the soft free agent market and the nine figure deal that he will inevitably get.
I think the Jays would be pretty ok with him signing the QO - it would give another year for Martinez to firm up the changes that he’s made to his approach at the plate and improve his defense. It would eat a chunk of the available dollars to spend but it wouldn’t be crippling.
