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).

You are under valuing. The Jays are no where near as barren as you think. I believe the last ranking had them at the middle of the pack and only because outside of Tellez, their talent is at least a year away, but they are all moving up together. So, no we don't have guys sitting in AA and AAA knocking on the door, but there is plenty in the system moving up.
Also, as pointed out, Reid-Foley is a good pitching prospect (though there is no such thing
) and Biagini is a young guy still seen as a future potential starter.
