Agree with all those folks on here saying it was a signing that needed to happen for a lot of reasons beyond Vladdy's baseball service to the team. In the AL East there's always going to be two other high payroll teams to compete with. It's imperative for being able to sign other high quality free agents, compete, sell Sportsnet subscriptions, tickets, and Jays merchandise that the team establishes that with the largest TV market in baseball that it can and will compete on cash with the top teams in the league.
