I believe that Reyes is a top notch player but the records for each of the starting pitchers that the Jays are getting didn't exactly blow me away. Miami finished with a worse record than the Jays last year so the players that each team is trading did not exactly lead their respective teams to glory. Apparently though, the Jays, at least according to the Toronto media, have fleeced the Marlins and Miami has decided to go with a bare bones roster financially for some reason.

You don't follow baseball therefore the pitchers do not blow you away. (If you did follow you would not have said that) Also the comment on the players not leading to glory is silly. Alomar and Carter did not lead anyone to glory before the Jays got them. You have many times regarding the Argos stated that the "new arrival" would be good here even though they were nothing to write home about on their previous club.

As to Miami. The "for some reason" is well known as that owner will reboot when he sees the team he has going nowhere. They won a Championship in 97 and then he blew it up. Well they rebuilt and won another championship a few years later. He kept that team together for a couple of year but blew them up when he saw them slide a bit. This version of the rebuild didn't pan out as expected ... so he's blowing it up again. Pretty smart since his plan worked twice now.
