I dunno... getting a good defensive player who can't even hit well in AAA seems like a very Jays move at this moment in time.
In all seriousness. I think this signals that Sasaki has made his choice. The Jays aren't getting that IFA money on a lark... they either need the money to sign him or they know that he's going to California and they're grabbing IFA money to poach some of the guys that team is going to have to break their handshake deals with.
