Glaus For A-Rod.....
I should replace Riccardi as GM for this Idea. First taker on Troy Glaus gets him. Dump his salary on anyone who is willing to take his $11+ million salary and ship him out. No disrespect to Troy but for that much money we could do so much more. He has had a few good years here but this past season was a waste for him and his injuries.
Like, raise the payroll for A-Rod. One guy at 3rd base could turn this thing into a World Series Team. Glaus is limited, hes injury prone and has steroid issues to worry about so replace him with A-Rod even if it does cost the extra $20 million.
You will recoup that in a sold out Rogers Centre for the first time in 15 years and you'll have more nationally televised games on ESPN to cover A-Rod which will bring in more revenue.
Now this is probably a far cry from where A-Rod is really going but its always nice to dream at the start of the free agent season.
I'm not sure the majority of Jays fans would want him here. He was pretty much vilified last season for his "MINE!" non-call that cost the Jays a game.
Plus he has yet to show that he's a playoff performer. He may be able to get us there (debatable) but would he just disappear once there?
Finally, this club is finally starting to show some level of team unity. Someone like A-Rod can kill that quickly. Look at what Hillenbrand almost did, and he's nowhere near the ego that A-Rod is.
