Type A free-agent reliever Scott Downs will reject the Toronto Blue Jays’
offer of salary arbitration, a major league source told FOXSports.com.
Downs has drawn interest from the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees and Los
Angeles Angels, among others.
Downs, a 34-year-old left-hander, is not well-known to casual baseball fans,
perhaps because he has pitched exclusively for Montreal and Toronto since
2003. He has relatively little experience as a closer.
But teams have long coveted him on the trade market, in part because he has
had success against difficult American League East lineups. He is likely to
sign a multiyear contract as a free agent.

應該是市場最好的左手牛Scott Downs
身處美東過去四年的ERA+分別是207 238 144 158
參考Joaquin Benoit的3Y/16.5MM Downs的合約只會更大張
