You're full of shit.
The Jays ate his salary hoping they could get a $300 million dollar pitcher (Sasaki) for $8 million. Worth the trade off and the gamble.
The Jays are printing money so it's not going to cripple them but Cleveland is one of the most efficient operations in baseball and they outrighted him off the roster and were willing to eat what was owed for him to play in the minors.
