Ok the guy won the Cy Young, but it's not like he was a solid pitcher that got better and better and won it, he came out of nowhere to do it with a gimmick pitch. A very short term move imo, I don't know if I'm a fan of that cost for it.

Depends on what you expect of him. If you trade for him to be the 3/4/5 guy then it isn't that crazy. If you are expecting him to recreate the career year he had last year for this year and/or beyond then it is very crazy.
Doesn't sound like the Jays are giving up that much if it is JPA and Gose. If TDA gets in there then maybe it becomes a lot to give up.
