It's a lot to give up for just a few guaranteed months of Bieber. But if it pays off either with huge playoff success with Bieber leading the charge and/or he is back next year because he takes his player option, or even better signs an extension with Toronto, it's a pretty great deal for the Jays.

Jays had 2 in top 100 - but looks like Stephen moved up the mid season prospect rankings to team #5 from 11
