$20M per year for Bautista? Nah that ain't right

Only a couple of mil per year more than the qualifying offer. I'd say Toronto did well all things considered

Cardinals To Send Two Draft Picks To Astros, Pay $2MM Fine For Data Breach Scandal
By Steve Adams | January 30, 2017 at 1:02pm CDT
Major League Baseball has concluded its investigation into the Cardinals’ illegal accessing of the Astros’ proprietary database, ruling that St. Louis will have to send two draft picks to the Astros and pay a $2MM fine as punishment, reports Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (via Twitter). ESPN’s Buster Olney tweets that the Cardinals will lose their top two picks, Nos. 56 and 75 overall, as punishment. Per an announcement from commissioner Rob Manfred, former Cardinals scouting director Chris Correa, who was fired and sentenced to prison time for accessing the Astros’ database, has been placed on the “permanently ineligible” list.
The Cardinals had already forfeited their top pick in the 2017 draft in order to sign Dexter Fowler to a five-year contract, and they’ll now be left without any selections in the top two rounds of the draft as a result of commissioner Manfred’s ruling. (The second pick they’re forfeiting is a Competitive Balance, Round B selection.) In addition to losing those two draft picks, the Cardinals will also lost the bonus slots that are associated with those selections.
Via the announcement on the matter, the league’s investigation “did not establish that any Cardinals’ employee other than Mr. Correa (who was the only individual charged by the federal government) was responsible for the intrusions into the Astros’ electronic systems.” As such, there are no penalties to further Cardinals employees (either current or former). Manfred continues to state that he holds the Cardinals organization “vicariously liable for [Correa’s] misconduct,” adding that the Astros “suffered material harm as a result of Mr. Correa’s conduct.” Beyond the loss of proprietary knowledge that Manfred terms “not amenable to precise quantification,” he adds that the Astros “suffered substantial negative publicity and had to endure the time, expense and distraction of both a lengthy government investigation and an MLB investigation.

the A's are a historically weird team, they basically had 4 peaks (1910-13/26-29/71-74 and 88-90) surrounded by years of bullshyt around the titles. shifty or uninterested ownership for almost 100 years, but they stay around. this year teams is not going to garner alot of interest, outside of Ryon Healy, Khris Davis and Jharel Cotton theres not much exciting going on

This move can only fail if Girardi plays him over Bird, so 75% chance
