The Jays aren't going to get an impact bat, a high leverage reliever, and a Starting Pitcher for 13M.
This is their "Big" move of the off-season. Burning 20M on a hope and a prayer that what looks like an outlier 2022 for Gimenez wasn't.
Damnit, I want to be rid of Atkins (and Shapiro if he won't get rid of Atkins).

They have said Jays Payroll is expected to be $250m this year.
Gimenez real dollar cost is only $10 million. That more important then CBT since the Jays will have no problem getting under CBT next year or at worst in 2 years for sure.
If this is all they do they have bigger issues - Since a different player for $10 million wasnt moving the sticks either haha
