Yeah, you're right about Reyes. Can't tell you how many times I've heard the guy's name in trade talks. Can't believe the Jays were dumb enough to take him off our hands.
I wouldn't get too excited about Alex though. Pretty sure he won't keep up the HR thing. He's now gonna be playing in a pitcher's park. And he's also considerably older than Escobar. That, more than anything, is probably why im not jumping up and down over this deal. With that said, I still think it was a good move. And one that had to be made. Yunel had enough time to get his act together. A change of scenery will probably do him well. He needs to mature.
Yeah, this is another reason im leary of this deal. But as I said above, it still had to be made.
One can only hope. That was one of the dumber decisions of all time. Selig is such a joke.
