Did the Jays win the Halladay trade?
It will take a few years before we finally see the outcome of this deal. If Drabek can be a bona fide #1 or even a number #2 starter, than the Jays did alright. The same goes with Travis D’Arnaurd. The problem with him is that he is a catcher. Lately, every catcher prospect for the Jays has been a dud. Hopefully he bucks the trend. The Saunders for Wallace swap should be good. Apparently this Wallace is a real baseball nut. If he becomes a slugger & Snider starts to realize his potential, than lookout.
Overall it was a no win situation for the Jays. They traded the best pitcher in baseball for prospects. So they lose no matter what.
The Jays traded Brandon League & a prospect for Brendan Morrow. To be fair, this is not a bad deal for either team. Considering Brandon League has been ineffective most of the time, a change of scenery will probably do him good. Same goes for Morrow. They are both young with huge upside. Hopefully Morrow’s arm troubles are in the past.
It seems like GM Alex A. is not wasting time in the trade market. This roster does need some tuning. Who will be next? Overbay? Downs? Accardo? Only time will tell.
Thanks for reading and bye for now
