He shouldn't go over by 20-30M every year because it's bad business. He should go over by that some years. Since they already reset last year, it makes little sense to stay under this year. They can always reset later on. Just don't sign extensions to injured pitchers (Eovaldi, Sale).
They aren't going to get anything of value except tax relief if they deal him. Makes little sense to move him unless you just pine for the thickness of Henry's wallet.
Your thoughts on the 2016 team:
"82 without another acquisition. Add a legit #2 for half a season or more and I'll got 86-88"
Your thoughts on the 2018 team:
"With two wild cards up for grabs, they shouldn't. You still have an avenue to the postseason!"
“I’ve shown a lot of flexibility in my career,” Andriese said. “I will compete for a starting spot, but I know being in the bullpen is also an option as well.”
If you told me he'd sometimes start games pitching 3-4 innings, I wouldn't be shocked.
I think that they have enough payroll flexibility in the coming years that they can be ready probably in 2022. I think being in WC contention is basically the same as being a PO contender. Are the Jays considered a playoff contender?
