Well I mean I don't know how it couldn't be seen coming, though perhaps not to this degree. He was a near 100 RBI guy two years in Oakland, and obviously Toronto fields a significantly better offensive team, affording both more RBI chances and chances to see good pitches. To trade your best player in his prime with more years under team control made little sense at the time and now looks like a debacle unless the prospects turn out to be great or better.
