I mean, B. Molina was the catcher on a World Series roster... You don't think a team would pay to replace him with JPA? You add in a projectable arm like a Nestor Molina, you should be able to net yourself a pretty solid 3rd starter I feel.

Thames has even less value then JPA. I just don't see with soo many buyers in this market and so many after starting pitching, why anyone team would give away a #3 guy for an offer like that. I think a team or two might add JPA if he was a free agent, but nobody is giving up value for him as he's an upgrade over almost nobody at the position. Playoff bound teams usually are not ones who are looking to get ride of anyone in the top part of their rotation at all. I don't think the Jays have any starters in AA or AAA right now they'd want to really part with or a lot that have a high value right now.
