>>62987808Buehrle is not coming back and although we will always love him, we don't want him at the kind of price he will command.
Estrada, after this career year, will be overpriced and Alex (please let us sign Alex) won't re-sign him any more than he re-signed Melky. (Anyone remember Melky? Anyone show up before August?) Some NL team with a pitcher's park will pay #2 money for him that we won't match.
Navarro is a great piece but we're fine on catchers. Is Pentecost anywhere close to being able to lift his arms yet?
Price is a thing. I really, really think we have to move on Price if we can. He's absolutely perfect for what we need in an ace. Great mentor for Stroman, who idolizes him. Lefty. AL East experience. Great teammate. Pretends to like Toronto. Available at a comparatively low price with all the other aces on the market. He'll have to think twice about New York or Boston and facing us 16 times. It's a good pitch, and a good pitcher. Let's get him.
Or Kazmir, if we must.
>>62987849>>62987885Lord save me from the expertise of Toronto "baseball" "fans". They're free agents, guys, we have no power to trade them or dump them. That's why he said "expiring" contracts. Try to keep up here.
