I've said I am only really interested in Jose on a 1 year deal and playing 1B.
Even then, still hoping we sign EE

I think JB will get 2 years somewhere
More likely to resign EE I think. But I think that's fading now too

I am not part of the hipsters but I wouldn't take Jose back for free. Time to move on and allow new people to assume the the face of the franchise and let Donaldson and Tulo take over the team.
Jose's time is done and take his attitude with him. I am so glad he made that awesome contract statement at the start of the year. Funny how karma bites certain people in the ass.
Now sign EE and you have a better lineup than last year

We should resign both Edwin and Jose.
Frankly I just want to win now. They both could still be among the best hitters in baseball next year. The Jays as a business need to win and keep fans happy to draw 40,000+ and have well over a million dans watch every game on TV. Right now with the free agents left they need to resign both... win 95 games and make the playoffs again. Simple as that.

F*ck cancer - RIP Fugu and Buffaloed
As a refresher right now we're looking at OF options like this if we were heading into the season now:
Pearce/Upton - Pillar - Pompey/Zeke
?

a team offered a prospect package for McCutchen that was turned down, could of been us. I bet they trade for one somehow

"Based on how you performed we gave you our loyalty discount last year, Jose, this is our number and we're not going to negotiate"
that 5 year discount thing was such an unnecessary way to start spring training off it really didn't sit well with me, even if you think that why go out of your way to let the world know? (I am going on that he called the media over to talk about it and it wasn't asked by the media). That coupled with all his other outbursts made me really not want him back

He can come off as a pompous ass for sure
Really liked the player though, just not sure he has it anymore. Certainly no as a an outfielder

$18+ million for each of the next five years and the 22nd overall pick vs. $16 million for one year and whatever they ultimately have to give up (which is always fun to complain about before we know what it is).
Its too bad the Jays couldn't use their financial muscle of Rogers being one of the richest owners in baseball to what the Leafs did to acquire some talented prospects and rebuild the farm on the go.
I would see that the Dodgers would be willing to add for the Jays to take on Andre Ethier's deal which has 1 year left and not sure if the vested year is in play but worse case it is a $2.5 mil buyout. He would be a lefthanded power hitter that can play the OF and if you can acquire one of their top 10 prospects why not take a chance on Ethier for one year.
No long term commitment and I think he is back to health so been pretty durable playing 130 or so games a year.
Good 1 year addition and maybe platoons with Pearce worse case.

Diamond Joe Quimby
A$AP Joffrey
There's a few other guys to trade for that would likely cost less while producing similar results.

You mean like with the Liriano trade?
Also, the Ethier idea is a good one. Can't believe I didn't think of it myself..................................................................................................................................................

Too bad you didn't see the Happ signing coming either. That one really caught you by surprise.
Yeah Liriano trade does fit the bill for sure.
You know MLB has told the Dodgers they need to comply with their financial policy and reduce the payroll to meet debt to service ratio...i think that is what it is.
So the Dodger might be willing to throw in a decent prospect to alleviate some payroll. You won't be getting a grade A guy but find a decent OF as you need to replenish the OF depth in the org
The Dodgers committing $200 million to three players this offseason suggests that maybe the debt talk was somewhat overstated.
