I dont mind it, avoiding arbitration is always better and the number is good value i think for an all defensive type 28 yr old who can hit


ya its a potential money saving move if Chapman is expecting a great year with the Jays - which is what I'm expecting in the AL East with the smaller parks.


you all missing the point of buying out the arby years - that eliminates risk of engaging in arbitration process which is a hearing where Jays FO would have to argue why Chapman isn't worth what he is asking - relationship damaging.


Never missed it. Read my point above. Arb is part of the business unfortunutely so they avoided it and got a good value deal done
