Blue Jays: Paying down Russell Martin’s contract makes more sense than for others

The Blue Jays have already moved several veteran faces over the last couple of years, and that trend will continue as they embark on a roster rebuild.

While guys like Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion, and now Josh Donaldson are playing in other jerseys, there are a few veterans that remain on the roster. Some of them figure to factor into the plans going forward like a Marcus Stroman or maybe an Aaron Sanchez, but there are others who will be gone once their current contract has expired. In some cases, the Blue Jays may move to make that happen even sooner.
