Interesting if true and would make a lot of sense. While the deal doesn't look great for Cleveland on the surface they did get some interesting talent that can play right away.
Hard to fault the Jays if someone takes the other deal.

FWIW, the Blue Jays were the runner-up for Francisco Lindor. Don't know specific players, but I'm told their offer had what is probably a higher ceiling yet was centered on long-term prospects. Cleveland chose the package from the Mets b/c it balanced short- and long-term help.
