No reason to sign a player with less than 2 years service time to any deal unless you advocate San Diego level stupidity.
It would be like turning down 3 free cars and insist on paying for them in full out of pocket.

To be fair, if his arbitration price ends up being close to his actual signed price, then there isn't much point in not signing him. As it is, you can expect a Donaldson level pay increase.
If you believe he's not going to ask for a massive bump in his salary after this season, then I've got a car to sell you.

To get that, you would need an Arbitration increase 8x the historical precedent for Year-1 before it snowballs through years 2 and 3 before factoring in injury risk. As it is now we already have Guerrero locked on a 5 year deal, the $ is simply a question mark lol

Personally, I see Rays market ending up somewhere between Eovaldi's 4/68 and 4/80. However, I also would not be shocked if one team goes all in on him and he gets something resembling the Wheeler/Corbin contract.

Blue Jays' return home offers long absent normalcy, sense of possibility - Sportsnet.ca
Shapiro confirmed that Ontario regards the convertible Rogers Centre as an outdoor venue, allowing for a capacity of 15,000 under Stage 3 of the province’s recovery plan, even if inclement weather forces the roof to be closed. The ability to keep some flaps open and increase air circulation is part of the plan to alleviate risk.
Information on tickets, with season subscribers a priority, is due early next week, along with details on health regulations and protocols in the stands. The dome has been deep cleaned after going largely unused for nearly two years, new turf installed and a sound system upgraded from the building’s original last year has been readied for use.
Equipment at Buffalo’s Sahlen Field must be shipped north once the current homestand ends with Wednesday’s series finale against the Boston Red Sox, while players need to close out leases and pack up homes in one city and start anew in another eight days later.
A lot of people will be doing a lot of hustle in a compressed time period.
The payoff comes in players getting to play before the team’s fans at Rogers Centre for the first time – like Hyun-Jin Ryu, George Springer and Marcus Semien – and staffers getting home after extended periods away from loved ones on the road.
There will be a financial benefit, too, as the Blue Jays are currently last in the majors in attendance at 161,313. The 21 games at Dunedin, where they drew only 30,936 for an average of 1,473, were largely responsible for that. They’ve averaged 6,861 fans through 19 dates at Buffalo, a pace better than the Miami Marlins (6,464) and Oakland Athletics (6,394) and just short of the Tampa Bay Rays (7,083).
Demand is expected to be strong in Toronto, although Shapiro said he had only for the first time asked the club’s ticket-modelling staff what the fiscal impact will look like.
“They're still working on that, which I guess is the best answer to the question, financial considerations weren't even a thought. They weren't even part of this,” he said. “We will certainly do a little better moving back. We have done well in Buffalo. Better in Buffalo than we did in Dunedin. It won't begin to eclipse the magnitude of losses that we've incurred over the last two seasons. This is about getting home. This is about being where we should be. This is about reuniting with our fans. Finances are a tiny to nonexistent part of the equation.”
Benefits from the restoration of normalcy are expected everywhere from on-field performance to trying to lure free agents in the off-season

Original or current - very close call.
Original brings back memories of Dave Lemancyk, Otto Velez, Roy Howell, Dave McKay, Rick Cerone, Jerry Garvin, Jim Clancy, Bill Singer, Pete Vukovich, Bob Bailor, Doug Ault......just all came flooding back.
04-11 being the worst.
Black jerseys for the Blue Jays was an abomination.

Im sure there is more to it than we know but you would think the best course of action is to keep the fans in the stadium until the police clear the area rather than force them to exit into a potentially dangerous situation.
