I like the move. Santos struck dudes out at an alarming rate 13.1 per 9. That is great. He is cheap, and while Molina has been touted as a top prospect, it has only been for the last year. He was a nobody prior to this year. Molina, like Santos, is a converted position player so the Jays at worst just sped up the clock on waiting out a converted position player.
Jays have a ned for a closer now, Molina doesn't have the gas to be a full time closer, and while he may end up a starter in the bigs, we have a ton fo SP prospects.
I like it.
edit: and that contract, WOW!!! If he does the closer job, we have the best closer per $ in the MLB.
