"My take: this is certainly a win-now move for the Braves, who are confident Gonzalez will provide more over the next few months than Escobar would have.

The Blue Jays, meanwhile, managed the rare feat of acquiring three-plus years of a shortstop with star potential without giving up much."
Well, in that case, I like it a bit more. I just really hate the Braves (just as much as the Canucks), so I don't really pay any attention to their players.

I just saw the .234 batting avg... That's not good. Hopefully he returns to his normal form.
