Even with Berrios poor season last year, you still do that trade. SWR and Martin both look like busts, especially Martin. This is coming from a guy who was initially pissed right off when that trade happened.
The jays have 17 home grown players on their 40 man, including key guys like Vladdy, Bo, Jansen, Kirk, Manoah and Romano. The Rays only have 13 home grown players on their 40 man. I think the Jays are doing a solid job of balancing development and trading prospects for proven MLB talent. Especially when you look back and see that none of the prospects they've traded have really done anything to make you regret them being traded. (obviously time will tell with Moreno).
