On the upside, it makes the Raycroft and Kessel trades look better by comparison.

TimKerr said:Frankly, the more news that is coming out the worse the deal is sounding. AA isn't that dumb.

bustaheims said:The fact that we haven't heard much of anything for truly reliable sources not connected to either teams' media outlet (like Ken Rosenthal or Jon Morosi) since last night makes me question a fair amount of what we've heard so far. Most of the info seems to coming from Mets beat reporters.

Can confirm rpt earlier from colleague @NYPost_Mets current construct of Dickey trade is 4-for-3 (Dickey, Thole, minor leaguer) #Mets (cont)
Joel Sherman @Joelsherman1
Could change because #Bluejays will likely send some $$ to #Mets to cover some cost of Buck, so could be another prospect rather than $$
Joel Sherman @Joelsherman1
But right now it's Dickey/Thole/prospect (told not elite) for d/Arnaud/Syndegaard/Buck/prospect (told not elite) #Mets #Bluejays
Joel Sherman @Joelsherman1
#Bluejays view Dickey as capable pitch top rotation in AL and whether it's Wil Myers going to #Rays for Shields or d'Arnaud/Syndegaard (con)
Joel Sherman @Joelsherman1
We r seeing that cost to get aces in $$ in fr agcy or on trade market is very steep. #Mets #Bluejays
Joel Sherman @Joelsherman1
Keep in mind deal not final Physicals must be passed, #Bluejays will only complete with a Dickey 2-yr extension. But most legwork done #Mets
Joel Sherman @Joelsherman1
As wrote earlier #Bluejays see 3-yr window in which control hi-end prime players, haven't been to playoffs since '93. Feel if not now, when?

Justin said:Are people really that surprised that this is what's in going to take to get last year's Cy Young winner? If the Mets are trading him they're going for a premium offer and I'm fine with that. The Jays are going for it this year, AA sees his window and he's going to take it. The Red Sox are rebuilding, the Yankees aren't as strong, the Orioles can't possibly be so lucky 2 years in a row, and the Rays just traded away a rock in their rotation.
Justin said:I don't think many Jays fans were made that they traded future perennial all-star Jeff Kent for David Cone in 1992...
Rob L said:Well, I guess this is why you stockpile prospects. I would have liked to have seen a couple of these guys blossom in T.O. but such is life... We have a potent lineup in a division as weak as it's been in years so I guess the timing is right to go all in. Go Jays go!
