And it all went downhill from there. His most memorable moment is probably that collision with Pillar.

I'm fine with that. We aren't wanting for utility players anyway, so it won't cost us much to replace him, and the utility options we have generally come with more actual utility.

Are the Mets still paying Bobby Bonilla?

LAS VEGAS – Consider the $38-million price tag on the release of Troy Tulowitzki the final bill for punting Jose Reyes midway through the 2015 season, when the need to pay out a shortstop who no longer fit the roster was punted a few years down the road.
The Toronto Blue Jays could have taken the financial hit then, run with Ryan Goins at shortstop and diverted their resources elsewhere but then-GM Alex Anthopoulos instead made a bold play for the longtime Colorado Rockies star.
Essentially, the math worked like this: the money was essentially even in ’15, but the Blue Jays took on the $98 million owed to Tulowitzki rather than eating the $48 million due Reyes in 2016-17 plus a buyout on his 2018 club option. So for $50 million, they got Tulowitzki and reliever LaTroy Hawkins for Reyes and prospects Jeff Hoffman, Jesus Tinoco and Miguel Castro.
“For us it’s roster flexibility,” Atkins said inside the Blue Jays suite at the winter meetings. “And for both it’s the ability to be more proactive and responsive to the potential of not having that flexibility and Troy being on our roster and potentially not playing on a regular basis. I don’t want to characterize or misrepresent Troy, but having the ability to be proactive was seemingly powerful for them.”
