Yikes, is your comments tend be negative on every Blue Jay move.
Following link explains this move better than I could.
Key is the Jays traded a pending UFA guy and two prospects for this Escoabar. Its a great move and worth the risk.

"If I told Jays' fans before the season started that the team would be able to add a 27-year old shortstop who actually received National League MVP votes last season for a pair of players in the low minors and a 33-year old shortstop who is having a career first half, I'm guessing that they would have jumped at the chance - especially when you consider how long it's been that the Jays have had a long-term solution at the position."
