The Tulo trade was a neutral salary trade as they shipped Reyes out at the same time (both making 20M).

The Jays are so cheap that they had to have the DBacks pick up the bill today on the Pennington trade (and traded an actual prospect to make that happen). Management has even been told now they can't add any more salary.

I'm kind of worried that you're saying this because it now makes me think we will not keep all 3 Price, Buerhle and Estrada. All of whom are schedule to become UFAs at the end of the season.

I wouldn't get your hopes up about keeping any of them, let alone all of them.

But if the Jays make a playoff run for the first time in forever, I wouldn't entirely write it off either.
