And just to be clear, I'm not crapping on Dickey, he'd be a fine 3rd starter on a decent team, but the Jays should be building a contender for the long run, not going all in for one or two seasons. D'Arnaud is a huge part of the future, and if he isn't, swap him up for someone who can be part of the core for the next half decade or a young front line arm, not some fossil at the tail end of his career, no matter how good.

I can't disagree with a lot of things you say. I would say that 3-4 years of Dickey isn't nothing. I think I'm just as high as you are on D'Arnaud, I'm just also a believer that Dickey would give the Jays really good value for more then just one season. I really, really, reallly hope they keep D'Arnaud though, just so when i watch Jays games for the next decade, it will be him at catcher and not the brutal JPA.
