Jays just about got him last year, then he went on to win the CY. With our luck they'll get him this year on a multi year and his arm will fall off lol

Three years at $35M would be a bit of an overpayment but I ultimately think the guy delivers. Beats paying for young guy potential where they bow out after a couple seasons due to injuries or potential not transpiring. He’s a vet who seems to know how to maintain himself (minus his tommy John season).
I think he’s using the Jays for leverage, but let’s see. This is a huge positive if true.
