Blue Jays to Kelly Johnson:

Kelly, we traded for you at the end of last season, because we believed in what you were willing to do not only for the rest of last year, but moving forward as well. We were thrilled with how you performed while here, and want you to be our second baseman as we move towards a long winning tradition. Keeping in mind deals that Aaron Hill and others signed, we offer you the following:

3 years/18.5 million

1st year: $5 million
2nd year: $6.5 million
3rd year(player option): $7 million

We know your arb value is 7 million, however, this would allow you to have the security of a 3 year deal, but also the ability to opt out after two if your looking for a bigger payday then.

Kelly gladly accepts and looks forward to re-going a Evan Longoria-led infield.

Re: Johnny Damon

Dear Mr. Boras (),

The Rays feel that Johnny was a key cog in our run at contention last year and that he also enjoyed his time with our club. The Rays would love to have him back on our team to fill the DH role once more. We would like to extend your client an offer of $2,000,000 for the 2012 season with performance bonuses worth up to $500,000 and a $2,000,000 club option for the 2013 season with a $500,000 buyout. The deal would guarantee Johnny $2,500,000 with a possibility of being worth up to $5,000,000. As an added incentive, we are willing to include a clause that states that if Johnny is traded, his 2013 club option will become a player option. As he will be 38 years old going into the next season, we feel that this is a fair offer for his services. We await your response.

Mr. Fransisco Rodriguez

The Brewers organization made a trade for you last year to help give us a playoff push, and you did exactly that, getting us damn close to the World Series. We would like to return the favor, offering you a 1 year deal worth 8,000,000 , as well as a team option of 9,000,000 for the 2013 season. We loved having you here last year and would equally love to have you back.

Russell declines, he feels he out-played that contract last year. He will sign 6 million per year for 3 years though

Boone will take $1,000,000 even

[slugger82685]

David Price considers himself a legit ace in the AL, which is tougher than the NL, and is insulted by this offer. He will take his money or you can non-tender him.

Howell accepts the raise and Peralta will counter at 1.5 million per year.

Sonnanstine will gladly test the free agent market.

Rays accept both Price and Peralta's arbs.

[torontosports10]

Jays were under impression all the players they traded for were accepted. In case not we accept:

David Price
Carlos Quentin
John Danks

Anyone anyone else we traded for haha
