First reporting on the proposal on Thursday, FOX Sports Ken Rosenthal now indicates that the wheels were in motion to a greater extent than previously thought and that the MLBPA had already signed off on the plan. "Everyone had signed off," a source told Rosenthal of the plan. "It was already done." In the past the MLBPA has been reticent to allow its players to forego a contractual benefit, which includes deferral of salary, without commensurate return. It remains unclear where the impetus for the proposal came from, but its likely that the players would not have conceived of such an idea had they not been led to believe that the team could not afford or were not interested in Santana. According to the Associated Press, the Blue Jays $132.6 million salary for 2014 is the 10th-highest in the MLB, but its unknown if the team is willing to take on more salary if the need were to arise. The 31-year-old Santana eventually turned down a one-year, $14 million offer from the Jays to accept the same deal from the Atlanta Braves, who were looking to shore up their rotation following the loss of Kris Medlen to Tommy John surgery. He is scheduled to make his first start for the Braves on Wednesday night.

The Leafs liked what they saw out of the veteran left winger, so on Monday they signed him to a one-year, US$1 million contract. "Based on Masons play in the pre-season, we feel he fits in well with our group and will have a significant role on our team," general manager Dave Nonis said in a statement. "We agreed to terms over the weekend and look forward to him making a strong contribution this season." Raymond is likely to slide in on the Leafs third line. His signing adds welcome speed to the lineup. The 28-year-old made $2.275 million last season for the Vancouver Canucks, when he had 10 goals and 12 assists in 46 games. After going unsigned during the off-season, Raymond chose to atttend Torontos camp because he stood a good chance of making the team.dddddddddddd "Theres limited stuff you can control in this game," Raymond said recently. "One of them is how hard you work, and with the ice time youre given to play the best that you can play." Given some ice time in pre-season games, Raymond was impressive. It looked like the back injury he suffered during the 2011 Stanley Cup final was past him. If Raymond can put up strong numbers, he could cash in on a bigger contract next summer, when the salary cap is expected to rise. For now, its the 2013-13 Leafs salary-cap picture that is the major question. Raymonds deal is an affordable one, though theres little breathing room for Toronto under the $64.3-million limit. Restricted-free-agent defenceman Cody Franson remains unsigned. ' ' ' |
