Reyes isn't worth anywhere close to the money he makes.
E: AA must be going all in right now. He has to with Bautista and EE basically at the end of their contracts. I expect 1-3 SP trades coming in the next couple days.
Not saying Reyes is worth the contract but to me this trade doesn't make a lot of sense unless the Toronto GM has something else in store to get some pitching.
They just basically committed to an extra 3 years of salary to a guy who probably will have troubles staying on the field having to play on Turf, losing 2 of their top pitching arms in the system (Hoffman is going to be really good if his new UCL stays clean) and didn't address any of Bluejays weaknesses.
Sorry but this is not a good trade unless they have something in store for like Hamels or Cashner/Kimbrel
Side note: Hoffman was drafted 9th last year even after knowing he needed TJ..
