Always a bit of a risk with trading prospects sure but I mean the reality is also the Jays have not been good at drafting and developing under Atkins. They've never really traded anyone away of real value either, Moreno probably the exception here but there was some logic there. Pretty much anyone they've dealt hasn't panned out.

With prospects that can change quickly, but up until now the Jays have not been very good at identifying and developing talent in the minors. Baseball is harder than most sports to project and they've had some bad injury luck, but there is a pretty long track record built up here of the Jays not drafting and developing well.
