Blue Jays Discussion: Let the post-winter-meeting, pre-spring-training baseball withdrawl commence!

[Canada4Gold]

Because you're not just dealing with dollar figures you're also dealing with people. You have to be able to manage the person at the same time.

I'm sure Donaldson's agent needing to now find a way to argue Donaldson deserves an extra 450k will have Josh sobbing and can't wait to leave for free agency. Can't believe the Jays would be so inhumane, they really need to treat their players better.

It's a business, I'm sure Josh understand that, there's nothing wrong with the way the Jays are treating Josh as a person.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

Rogers owns the score lol

no it doesn't. not the app.

 

[Jozay]

no it doesn't. not the app.

Oh

they bought the score but not their app lol. Thats like the best thing theScore had.

 

[The Nemesis]

Oh

they bought the score but not their app lol. Thats like the best thing theScore had.

They bought the tv channel and all the rights to the programming they showed, but not the Score name or its non-TV stuff (like the app or website or the like)

 

[Eyedea]

So we know what the Nats will be paying now, hopefully we hear what PTBNL we're giving them now. Shouldn't be much but I want to know anyway

~2m difference? That's like Touki Toussaint by Stewart's standards.

 

[Daisy Jane]

okay. I don't know how arbitration really works here.

but isn't donaldson worth that 450k? why go to arbitration?

That extra half million could potentially be a big deal in a UFA signing down the road. Its a part of the business and Donaldson apparently commented before that he had nothing against the team no matter how arb goes.

I mean he was so hurt by the Jays taking him there last year he went out and just had a terrible year. Makes sense that you'd do anything possible to avoid it this time around...

 

[habamillions]

Jesse Chavez filed at 4mil.
jays offered 3.6mil

oh well that's good.
hopefully we can sign him for a v long time

 

[TOGuy14]

Don't really understand the logic of going to arbitration with your best player over 450K, but let's see how this plays out...

Maybe that's the whole plan.

"Josh Donaldson is an awful baseball player and shouldn't earn a damn cent. Prove me wrong, Josh. Prove me wrong."

 

[Discoverer]

Don't really understand the logic of going to arbitration with your best player over 450K, but let's see how this plays out...

The logic is simply that saving that 450K is better for the team than not spending it. So they're trying to save it.

****ing Shapiro, bringing Donaldson to arbitration!!!

AA would never have done that!

 

[Cor]

Chris David back to the Orioles. 7 years, 161M. 23M AAV

Ian Kennedy to the Royals. 5 years. 70M. 14 AAV

 

[Bob Barker]

Sounds like a couple big names are on the verge of signing with a couple of our rivals.

Ian Kennedy to the Royals: 5 years, 70 MM (opt out after 2017)
Chris Davis back to Baltimore: 7 years, 161 MM

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

Five years for Ian Kennedy? Now I know y'all trippin.

 

[InShannyWeTrust]

****ing Shapiro, bringing Donaldson to arbitration!!!

[MJ65]

- That's funny

 

[Discoverer]

That looks baaaaad...

 

[theaub]

Kennedy is still getting paid for his 2011

How that guy gets more term and AAV than Happ is baffling.

 

[Canada4Gold]

and we all thought Davis' payday had passed him by

 

[Woodman19]

That Davis deal is going to look Uber silly in 2 years.

 

[mikebel111*]

Wow not 1 big free agent signing!
Shapiro is completely ruining this team and Rogers is being cheap once again.
playoffs done for another 20 years!
