Tigers trade:
JD Martinez

Blue Jays trade:
Dalton Pompey/ Anthony Alford
Sean Reid Foley/ Connor Greene

Blue Jays get a legitimate middle of the order bat to replace the probable loss of Encarncion and Bautista. Martinez is under contract for one more year at a very cheap price of 11MM for his production. Tigers get a young athletic cost controlled option for center field and an up and coming, potential middle of the rotation starter.

Jays aren't going to give up 4 prospects for 1 year of Martinez. they will find somebody to DH.

Good grief this is terrible. For reasons why it is terrible, Minnow laid it out rather well.

Martinez isn't THAT good.

Martinez is very good. But I think Toronto would shy away from that deal.

Martinez is not worth a teams top 4 prospects, two of them being top 100 prospects and 1 being an MLB-ready center fielder.

Martinez has 1-year left on his deal. No one is mortgaging the future for a player in his walk year.

The proposal is not for all 4. It's for 2 of them. The / signifies you get either/ or.

that makes more sense. I should have read it again.

But I believe Jays would rather give up prospects for someone other than Martinez.
