Not much for Jays’ news today.
Eric Lauer (all Erics should come together and pick one spelling for their name) and the Jays filed their numbers with the arbitrator. Lauer is asking for $5.75 million the team is at $4.4 million. I’m generally on the player’s side in these things, but I can’t see why the team wouldn’t just give him the $5.75. He was so good last year. This year, it is looking like he’ll be a long man in the pen until someone in the rotation gets hurt.
But then the Nationals are going to arbitration with Cade Cavalli. He’s asking for $900,000 and the team filed at $825. You would think they could get together on that one.
Not Jays’ news but:
You’d think players would be smarter.
I’m sure you all saw that Don Mattingly signed to be the bench coach with the Phillies. I know he wasn’t well-liked here, but I doubt that he truly cost us anything (or gained us anything). I’d imagine that most bench coaches don’t really affect the win/loss record of their teams. I didn’t like him because of the Yankee stink on him.
MLB Trade Rumors tells me that the Tigers are interested in Chris Bassitt. I hope he signs somewhere. He seemed like a great guy and a good pitcher.
And I don’t think there is more for Jays’ news of note. The off-season is way too long.
