Massive screw up by what was a pretty decent GM, and it'll likely end up costing the jays 200 or so dominant starts from Noah Syndergaard. Not to mention what at the very least would be a solid, young cost controlled back up catcher in D'Arnaud, or at the very, very least a decent trade chip for something better than a 4+ ERA sub .500 RA Dickey.
Hate to keep bringing that up, I know some are tired of it, but what a colossal #### up that trade was.

Yeah that trade was brutal. The Jays had to make a splash because fan support was at an all time low, but the return they got for Syndergaard was nothing short of horrendous. I think we all know why Dickey was chosen (older guy , known name, wouldn't command a ridiculous contract despite coming off a CY Young).
