You may not be wrong in the short term, but I'd like to see Adams kept for his ceiling.
Here is a good article on Blanton's transition, I guess it's not all bad. Just not sure he's worth the big league deal.

I still likely have PTSD from his tenure in LA in 2012.

I am doubting we would get him on a minor league deal since he has been really good the last couple seasons. If we do it's because of his age, but I am highly doubting we will get him for that cheap/no risk like that

Which one of the three would you guys want first? To me by the numbers I do not see a whole lot of differences between Blevins and Logan, while breslow hasn't been good in a few years, even though i guess his mechanic change is supposedly made him better.

That's why they list Shapiro as a connection to Toronto...
And its Logan/Blevins neck and neck, with Breslow a distant 3rd.
Problem is, Logan and Blevins are probably looking for 2/10 deals, while Breslow might be had for a minors deal.
But if I had my pick, I think I'd take Logan. Have the 2 best LH breaking pitches in the game from last season in the same bullpen.

Hmm for different reasons I am tossed up between Breslow and Blevins. I would say Breslow but if somehow Blevins falls into our lap yeah get him. I have no idea why but Logan is not a guy would want, I am with you on Blevins actually now that I think about it, but I assume we will end up with Breslow and I am Okay with that. I have nothing against Logan and I know not much about him. I just feel Breslow has that year in him and Blevins would be a great steal.

Again Breslow might have "that wonder year" and if cheap yes. Blevins is the best and Logan is the dark horse. I would take any three and run of course but I would go Breslow and Blevins even before Logan. Again that is my lack of Baseball knowledge talking but from what I seen Logan might be command a higher price than the other two.

Essentially he is trying to get a multi-year deal and so far no one is offering it to him, just one year deals. Hence why he hasn't signed and it means he has to take a lesser deal or switch agents to see if a new one can come up with something for him, but either way we won't see him in Cleveland next season
