I've got some pretty strong opinions about this however and think I'm going to stay quiet till the actual trade is announced and we see how much he signs for and who the Jays get back. It's been awesome debate, just a little exhausted talking hypotheticals right now lol.
The Jays tried to give their dough away last year and couldn't find any takers. Maybe they did offer big dough to Sanchez. I just think the Jays are near taking the absolute worst approach to getting a SP, and would rather they taken aim at a lower in the rotation guy or went after someone a little later on.

Wait until it shakes out. I'm just really surprised at the overall positive feeling about this trade - basically the opposite of what I feel (don't like the player, don't like the reported figures, don't like the prospect expense).
