Wouldn't be a bad trade for the Jays.
Overbay simply doesn't provide enough offense from the 1B position. Moving Lind there would be ideal as he simply isn't a good enough OFer.
Synder is an above average offensive catcher. Before last season's injury-plagued season he put up years of .800 and .775 OPS which is usually around 10th in the league for catchers. Obviously it's a question mark whether he can bounce back from his injuries, but Overbay is gone after next season anyways so the risk is worth it as far as I'm concerned.
