Gose I could live with... although honestly I would rather not see them trade any more of their top prospects for a guy who will be retired in 3 or 4 years. The goal should be long term sustainability not flaring out in one year, especially when you have no idea how the new roster will mesh and what the results will be like. Imagine if the team craters and they've traded two more top prospects for Dickey.

If you want to spend 14 mil a year, sign Edwin Jackson for nothing, or better yet, wait until the trade deadline and pick up a rental when you're certain the team is going to contend. Garza, Lincecum, Floyd, Shields... lots of decent rental/FA arms out there this year

The Jays aren't the Yankees or the Red Sox, they need to maintain decent farm depth if they want to build something that lasts. And if they insist on trading a D'Arnaud, they need promising or established cost controlled players back with lots of contributing years or significant trade value ahead of them.
