I think you are overvaluing the jays prospects here. The jays farm is barren. I can see why the pirates said no (if it's true).
Hardly. Reid-Foley is a good pitching prospect, and Guerrero Jr. is a massive prospect. Not to mention near MLB-ready Tellez.

That's a massive haul for a declining McCutchen. Cannot imagine the Jays brass that emphasizes a championship-ready development system would be alright with giving that up.
