I wouldn't even entertain the idea of including TDA in this deal. I don't know if I value the catcher position higher then other people do, but for me a top catcher is essential to a winning team. JPA simply isn't good enough defensively for us to think that we have that position locked down for the forseeable future.

I wouldn't trade TDA for Dickey straight up. It's JPA plus Gose/Sierra/Rasmus or similar or I walk away from the deal.
