I see Melky has signed a 3 year deal with the White Sox for $42-43.5m over 3 years.

Hearing those figures makes my blood boil that the Jays didn't sign him!
What was it they offered to make the qualifying deal? Something like $12-12.5m. Would an extra $1-2m a year really have affected the budget that much to get a proven bat of Melky's calibre back in a Jays' uniform.
