I think Jansen has more value to the Jays than he would have value in the eyes of other teams. If you are looking for a return, nothing about Jansen’s stat line really jumps out at you or for potential teams looking for a catcher. However, he is so good with the current Blue Jays staff that he adds value in other ways.
Kirk, I think is kind of the opposite of Jansen. He has great stats but I don’t know if the intangibles are there. Teams will look at an all star catcher with power and contact and would likely overpay.
Trading Kirk though would he pretty unpopular so they’d need a huge return to make it sellable to the fans.
