As a Mets fan, I'm happy with the return.
Mets needed a future catcher in the worst way and the pitcher is supposed to be a high ceiling #2 type player. It's a good haul for a 38 year old.

The Jays trade gets better reviews because people think they're in a better position to win than the Royals are, given the trade with Florida last month.

No question it's a great deal for the Mets. They weren't winning any time soon with Dickey. It's the perfect time for the Jays to make a move like this, though.

Actually, the fanbase in Toronto is a sleeping giant. If they win (which they haven't done in 20 years), there's no reason to think it couldn't be like it was 20 years ago when they were setting attendance records and spending huge money.

The Blue Jays are spending a ton of money to finish in fourth place in the AL East.

Toronto is absolutely without question the most talented team in that division.

That's nice. I suspect I lived there longer than you have and have a better idea of the sleeping giant that is the Blue Jays fanbase than you (they get better television numbers than any organization in baseball despite not having a playoff team in 20 years).

Also Anthopoulos said this at the conference call tonight...sounds like it's his plan to extend him as I figured. Mike Cormack @MikeCormack #bluejays GM Anthopoulos: "Hopefully a guy like Josh Johnson can be part of (a multi-year run) that too going forward." |

Dickey just had his career year. He will never reproduce the year he had in 2012.

Yankees are still better, but Toronto should win between 84-89 games if they stay healthy.
