I think the lead off position is the most overrated in baseball so i think this trade is a slam dunk for the Jays. Typically he leads off once and never again so just give me a guy who is a slightly above avg runner and better than avg OBP and your fine. Revere was an avg OF and at 6 mill was overpaid to boot so to get a legit closer or potentially elite set up man is a slam dunk in my books.
I'm do agree about the player to be named later. Sometimes that can be a draft pick and obviously if that is the case I would change my opinion on the trade. Having said that if it was a decent name I feel like it would have leaked by now.
