    The Jays are and will always be the bargaining leverage that players use to get the teams they really want to sign with to pony up. It's unfortunate but it's just the way it is.

    I think a lot of it is Rogers not allowing them to go over 5yrs on deals. Rogers does hold a lot of what the organization can do contract wise when Toronto needs to overpay to get guys.

    The future deals is something they need to kind of think of, again, when Rogers won't allow them to do much.

    Also another obstacle that the Jays are facing is that players don't like the uncertainty on where the Jays will be playing (Toronto/Buffalo). Which if I'm a top player, not knowing if I'll be playing in an MLB stadium or a AAA stadium would be a pretty big tipper. Not knowing the quality of the facility, or facing a AAA stadium vs Mets stadium...I'd be pretty swayed right there.

    Sounds like it's down to a physical for the Jays to sign Springer.

    Rumours are flying on twitter that the Jays have also signed Brantley last night too, but still not completely confirmed, so I am taking the rumour with a grain of salt. This is mainly coming from Atlanta Braves reporters.

    I dunno how it would work with Brantley because the OF wouuld then be jammed with Grichuk, Teosacar, and Gurriel. Unless they move one of them but I dunno who's taking Grichuk

    I love this signing as much as I do the Springer one.

    Yes, they do have some quality OFs to move for hopefully some SP now. I am fine moving Teoscar or Gurriel for pitching help. They seem to have the most value to a lot of teams.

    Reports are now Mets might not be signing Brad Hand and Toronto is likely to land him.

    As long as they don't take a step backwards, they'll be fun.

    Apparently the Brantley signing was premature. They haven't closed a deal yet.

    LOL! To be faiiiiir (P7), it wasn't Mae that I had read about the signing so she wasn't the only one reporting it. I got it from Ken Rosenthal.
