Please Rogers folk over the money everyone knows you have and pay Edwin and Jose

While they should definetly pay one of them, I don’t see paying both of them making sense long term. You’re gonna have two aging stars who rely on power to produce. In a couple of years, contracts to both of them might severely restrict the team from making moves. Considering their price tag will probably be in the $20 million AAV range, moving their contracts if one or both of them struggle won’t be easy either. Plus, it might make more sense to only sign one since it will give the team more flexibility defensively/positionally.

Giving JD 15M a year I can’t see the Jays giving either of them more then the raining MVP.

JD’s contract wasn’t an extension but rather buying out his arb years for cost control reasons (instead of letting it go to arb and having a random figure, the Jays will know exactly how juch JD will cost). On the open market, JD will probably get a contract in the $22-$25 million AAV range. They shouldn’t be paid more than JD, I definetly agree with you, but that $15 million figure JD is currently getting is more arb numbers than open market.

i hope arroyo rubs off on the wash staff. strasburg, and the rest, should thrive under arroyo leadership.

Seriously doubt Dombrowski, even Cherrington previously would make Bucholz a rich man over another 4-5y (after the 2017 option), even if by some miracle he put up a Cy Young caliber season reminiscent of his 2010 season.
It would require him to do 2 things of late hard for him to do:
1) Stay injury free an entire season. Nearly a miracle.
2) Him maintain focus, almost as big of a miracle.
I have a feeling Mr Bucholz will be long gone after 2017, if not during the 2017 season, even if he is pitching well and the team is in the competition for the crown, much like Garciaparra was flipped in ’04. A bad penny with value.

Yankees are going after Strasburg hard when the season ends. They have almost $38 million coming off the books with Teixeira and Beltran. He would look good in pinstripes.
BowTieGuy
Funny thing is they will need all $38 million in order to sign him, I heard he expects to crack the $400 million mark for a single contract.

I think you have him mixed up with Bryce Harper. No way Strasburg gets 210 mil .

I think the dodgers make a run at strasburg unless DeLeon or Urias is ready

If Strasburg finishes the year healthy, it’s very likely he’ll get over $200 million+.
jdubs346
Haha the Yankees can have stras and all the injuries that come with him
southpaw2153
Strasburg isn’t getting a $400 million contract. Probably a 7-year deal at age 28. I would say he gets $200 million. Yanks didn’t spend this year so they can next offseason. Next big free agent after that will be Harper after the 2018 season. Just my opinion.

and thats all they will sign, machado will get an extension with the o’s
