Fallin for Dahlin?
Not a fan of trading the farm for corner OF's even one as good as Eaton.
Jon Jay on a short term deal makes way more sense.

Shouldnt the jays consider giving Carerra a full time spot in the outfield. outside of Donaldson he was arguably our most consistent hitter this post season.

Was Cecil really work 7.5 million per year?
On a 2-3 year deal, at the money RPs are looking at now, he's easily worth that. But 3 wasn't going to get it done with his market, so the Cards gave him the extra year. He should still be good value over the life of that contract, though it's more than most were willing to go term-wise, but dollars-wise he probably could have gotten $25M on a 3 year deal.
There's something that makes me chuckle that Brett Cecil will make just 1.2M less in salary than Sidney Crosby.
1 is a fairly reliable relief pitcher, and the other is the best hockey player in the world.
Just kinda funny, and shows that the business side of sports is mighty interesting
MLB no cap, obviously. Top players in MLB make more than double what top players in NHL make.

triple, actually.
and they should really get more, but mlb's cba (and collusion?) keep the player's share of revenues down near 40%.
Why exactly should they get more?
I believe NHL and NBA player unions have negotiated ~50% of the revenue for the players. MLB player share of revenue has fallen below 40% in recent years.
What does this mean? Well, it means that when the CBA is expires, we're either in for another lockout, or more likely, MLB salaries are going to spike...bigly.
the mets remain optimistic a deal can be struck that will return yoenis cespedes to their lineup in 2017, but market forces are threatening to thwart that reunion.
within the industry, there is a growing sense the star outfielder will command a five-year deal, which would leave the mets facing a major decision on their immediate future.
As it stands, the mets are likely committed to signing the 31-year-old if a four-year contract in the $100 million-to-$110 million neighborhood can be hammered out, according to an industry source, but there is less clarity on the matter when an additional year — which could push the value of a deal beyond $130 million — is considered.
cespedes has been linked to the giants, dodgers and nationals, with speculation mounting that the yankees could become a factor before the winter meetings conclude outside washington, dc, on dec. 8. A source told the post last week that four teams, including the mets, were showing legitimate interest in cespedes.
MLB no cap, obviously. Top players in MLB make more than double what top players in NHL make.
MLB also makes 2.6x the NHL's revenue, so it would make sense that a top player in baseball would make 260% more than a top hockey player
ie, Toews makes $13.8....multiplied by 260%....and Kershaw makes $35m
voila!
triple, actually.

edit: Oh, and NFL players get about 48% as well.
Huh? John Jay and Adam Eaton aren't even comparable. Eaton is a 6 WAR outfielder with pop, and a mighty consistent 115 wRC+ hitter and plus defender at 27. Jon Jay is 31, had a 57 wRC+ in 2015 and had a whopping .371 BABIP last season. He's clearly going to regress back to replacement level. He's not even as valuable as Zeke Carrera for goodness sake

Yet, it doesn't explain why they deserve more. They are all grossly over paid, period. And only in sports is it supposedly logical that it's an equal split between owners and employees.
