I like the trade
We complain Jays have no speed - Get a great base stealer
We didn't have a 2nd baseman , now we have the best D 2B in MLB
We are only paying $10 mil in real dollars leaving more money to get a real DH and/or Closer
Yes his hitting has decreased the last 2 seasons which is worrisome, BUT if he bounced back to 2022 level hes a top 10 MVP candidate. Thats a risk teams with money should take, and Cleveland's of the world can't
We will (most likely) be rebuilding when his high contract values kick in and will either deal him if he bounces back hitting wise, or have an overpaid bum during the rebuild when salary is super low anyways
As long as this isnt the end of improving the team I actually really like this move . Now go get a impact bat, closer, and SP and maybe we are a wildcard team
