Well they got a player with considerable upside, who is way better than "okay" (gold glove contender and a 4/5 tool guy) and is young compared to most of the rest of the active roster... namely grandpa McDonald.
The Braves, on the other hand, received Gonzalez who is playing way over his head this year and is 5-6 years older than Escobar.
The winner of this trade is clear - the Jays got the best player in the trade who will be the best player in the trade for several years.
