Ty touched on the most obvious one so i'll avoid it...<br /><br />another major issue is that it costs serious dough to carry a case to it's conclusion... attorney's fees + it preoccupies members of the front office who could be otherwise using their time some (any) more productive way.

Even if they win their case, the player does not get over what was said in the process.Peter DeMarcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025682416268680287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-79133234211103944702011-01-13T16:36:15.160-05:002011-01-13T16:36:15.160-05:00Yeah, it's pretty much coming clear that this ...Yeah, it's pretty much coming clear that this is likely JoBau's last year here. <br /><br />I would have thought a two-year, $20 million deal might have worked to keep him in the fold, but I haven't really heard anything about what's been offered and what he wants.<br /><br />Of course, with the new regime, silence often portends action, seeing as how quiet they've managed to keep everything.Tao of Stiebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12459135109404905466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-25262170377560870762011-01-13T16:19:57.273-05:002011-01-13T16:19:57.273-05:00you guys do realize this is Bautista's last ye...you guys do realize this is Bautista's last year in Toronto right? Perfect reason to fight tooth and nail with him to save a few bucks.<br />I'm surprised they haven't traded him yet.<br />No offence to Bautista, but he already feels he's worth a long term contract, one AA isn't willing to dish out to Bautista, meaning he is gonzo after this season, either as a type A free agent, or in a trade.GCM1979https://www.blogger.com/profile/07096628308934409139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-54588749423147306192011-01-13T15:37:15.005-05:002011-01-13T15:37:15.005-05:00Ty brings up a good point on Bautista.

It might cost more, but considering, say, Bautista's case: if the Jays are seriously thinking about signing him long-term and maybe hoping for a bit of a hometown discount, I'd imagine that having to sit in a room with him and explain to an arbitrator why he sucks and doesn't deserve the money he's asking for would be a poor way to get there.Tyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878921441543129555noreply@blogger.com
