southsider2k5 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Arden Zwelling @ArdenZwelling 39m39 minutes ago Two weeks ago Jose Bautista told the Blue Jays front office the dollar amount and term is would take to re-sign him. Hasn't heard back since The Blue Jays attempted to negotiate with Bautista's terms but he told them not to waste their time Bautista: "I'm not willing to negotiate. I don't think there should be any negotiation. I think I've proven myself." #BlueJays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the buyout, they paid him $37.5 million in 2015 & 2016 to not throw a single pitch. But overall the Phillies paid him $120 million. From 2011-2014 he was worth 19.2 WAR, which according to FG was worth a total of $138.7 million. They made the playoffs in 2011 too. He was very good when he did pitch, especially the first three years of the deal, I don't think the Phillies should have too much regret on that deal.

With the limited resources on the FA market this offseason, basically all he has to do is stay healthy and have one good season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 One more rule I'd like to see: Relief pitchers must either face a minimum of two batters or finish an inning. That would help cut back on the number of commercial breaks for pitching changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telling them how quickly to do an action is completely different than telling them they can/can't do a certain action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I find it hard to believe David Freese is still looking for work with the shortage of 3B in the league. He is not the greatest but has put up over a 2.0 WAR the last couple of years. His price has to be pretty reasonable at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking to myself that Freese would sign with Cleveland but they with Uribe instead. I would have taken Freese over Uribe but I imagine Cleveland went with the cheaper option in Uribe.
