I just said that in my previous post. I know they are NOT free agents.
The point is really simple, the Jays may or may not content this year with this big trade. More than anything, it's an ALL IN THIS YEAR because I don't see the benefit of this trade beyond this year. Yes, the Yanks and Sox will be the weakest this year than ever before.
But what the Jays fandom fails to see is the big picture when these 2/3 contracts handcuff the Jays after this year. It's going to be Vernon Wells all over again. What happens when the Yanks and Sox reload next year's FAs which they undoubtedly do. What then for the Jays when they have an over the hill Buerle and overrated Reyes.
I'm thinking beyond this year when I'm accessing this trade, not the obvious euphoria some Jay's fans are having wet dreams about. This trade does not favor the Jays beyond this year.
