His career earnings are $44 MM. $16MM will matter to him.

Because he wants to get traded and have a chance to pitch in a playoff run , and potentially be a Jays starter next year vs on a rebuilding Cleveland team
The Jays don’t have to trade for him .
I dont think he gets $16 million anyways next year , but the Jays have an open pitching spot next year , and a competitive team , and great D - sounds like the perfect spot for a pitcher to rebuild his value
