Transaction Analysis
Blue Jays re-sign Alex Gonzalez for 4
years, $20 million
Its hard to imagine Alex Gonzalez commanding $5
million per season. However, in this market, that does seem to
be the going rate of somebody with his talents. Hes surely
not going to help his team with his bat. Although he doesnt
get on base nearly enough, he is an above average fielder and gives
the Blue Jays a stable environment at a position that a stable
environment is needed. This was a move that makes sense for
the Blue Jays, but not that good of a move unless they can get
Gonzalez to get on base more.
