He’s yet another example of a guy willing to stay in Toronto, but Jays management won’t pay to keep him. I don’t think in this case he’s worth the money he will command, but it wouldn’t matter anyways even if he was.

200 innings a year and an era under 5 when he's healthy in the AL East is not an easy thing to do. If it was easy, everyone would do it. That has value. And if the guy lives and breathes for the city when historically it's an issue keeping guys, go with the devil you know and call it a day.
