$18m is pretty much market value for a guy who has hit 33, 28 and 44 HR the last 3 seasons. The AAV on the deal is market value for the player. 5 years is on the long side for sure, but that's the cost of doing business for the Jays, always has been.
As far as defense goes, yeah you would love to have plus defenders at every position, it's just not reality. Every position player the Dodgers have is a negative defender at the position they are playing them, except maybe Freeman.
