One thing about EE that scares me a little would be going over 3 years with him. Great hitter but at this point he is 33 and he had by far a career high in K's last year even if it also accompanied a career high in BB's. But as far as a pure impact middle of the order bat that would not require us giving up anything besides salary, i'm all about that.

What have been his reported offers from different teams thus far? Do we know? And ya his 1b fielding is pretty abysmal but so is Bour so hey, whatever. That actually might drag his price down a little which could help.

Also, I remember EE in Cincy and he was alright, but does anyone know any reason why he suddenly exploded in Toronto? His home road splits over the past 3 years going off ESPN's numbers are a little concerning, granted he was still a mid. 800's OPS guy on the road, but not the .900+ OPS guy he was during home games.

The Blue Jays offered him 4/$80, AAV of $20/year, which he turned down.
I haven't read any other offers since then. He won't be going back to the Blue Jays, with them signing Morales/Pearce. The Yankees don't need him with Holliday; Astros got Beltran; Rockies got Desmond. Those are the teams that have been rumored to be in on him. It's said Cleveland was in on him, but they were far apart. Texas has said they don't have the money for him.
Cespedes signed the 3/$75 deal last year with the opt out after year 1. We're right now potentially budgeting $16-17/year to Jansen. Assuming we don't sign Jansen, could EE bite at 3/$51, 3/$60 max with an opt out after year 1?Last edited by rmc523; 12-08-2016, 03:56 PM.

if you want them to restock the farm system you should be hoping for a full and complete fire sale of all major league talent.
if not, this is your best option. asking the team to change the whole way it operates and start acting like a real franchise is not realistic.

I'm fine 4/$80 or whatever for EE. It's not like that will prevent the team from doing anything. Jeffrey will trade everyone or sell the team. It'll be fine.
They could easily trade Bour for some sort of controllable pitcher, especially if bundled with Ramos if the team does go out and sign Kenley, or more realistically Feliz.
Any of that is only good news.
