Maybe that's true but teams also need to be patient and make the right moves coming out of a re-build.
Overpaying to get the deal done isn't always the right move. That's how you end up with R.A Dickey and Jose Reyes.
Sounds like they made a good offer but Cleveland wanted guys closer to being ready to play. That happens sometimes, and to me that sounds like more of a mistake from Cleveland.
All these guys that we are hoping to trade for from Cleveland are guys that the current Jays management group found and were patient with. So tough to say they are no good at their jobs when the guys we want were all brought to Cleveland by Shapiro when he was there. Bauer, Lindor, Cleavinger, Kluber, etc
