Jays Likely To Offer Towers Arbitration
Josh Towers has pretty much proven to be less than useful in the AL East. However, his peripheral stats aren't too shabby and most speculate a move to the easier league would turn him into a solid #4 starter. J.P. Ricciardi knows this, and is likely to offer arbitration to Towers.
Towers is due for a bump from the $2.9MM he made in '07. I'll guess he'll land in the $3.5-4MM range. Ricciardi is paying lip service to the idea of keeping Towers around, but he'll surely explore the trade market for him. He might be disappointed - no one thought highly enough of Towers to claim him on waivers last August. Maybe that was related to his criticism of the Jays' coaching staff a few weeks earlier.
Nonetheless, the Rockies, Padres, and Phillies have all expressed interest in Towers in the past. Those three clubs are still hunting for pitching.
