While the Toronto Blue Jays haven’t raised the white flag yet on the David Price front, it’s not unreasonable to think they may ultimately be priced out of his services. In that case, a former AL East opponent could be a fair alternative.
Chen’s career numbers at the Rogers Centre aren’t great (4.91 ERA), but some of that can be attributed to a very small sample size (just two outings), not mention having to face the Jays’ stacked lineup. And while that fearsome offense can do much of the heavy lifting for the team, a sound starting rotation is a necessity if they want to make another deep postseason run.
Signing Chen could be a relatively affordable way for Toronto to attempt to keep its pitching staff up to snuff in 2016.
