I veto this trade I'm a huge jays fan. I love this deal for them very much. Also Id like to say that I think its a good trade for Miami as well. They know they aren't gonna win with what they have so they sold off a bunch of salary for cost controlled players. A lot of people are bashing the Marlins but I have to disagree with them. All in all its a good trade for both teams.

I think people are bashing the Marlins less on a baseball level as they are on a business level. They openly kvetched for years about not spending money because they had a shitty ballpark no one would go to. So when they backdoored their way into a publicly financed stadium (which is beautiful btw), they made a big deal about how they were going to spend money from then on. They made a run at Pujols and pretty much any star with hispanic roots, they paid big dollars to Reyes, Buehrle and Bell and essentially said "this is a new era".
Now less than a year later they are pulling the same shit they did in previous years only they didn't win first. So now they have a beautiful publicly financed ballpark, a team that has 5 players under contract for under $21 million and a SHITLOAD (excuse my language) of bankable money since every team just got a huge raise out of the national television deals. Not to mention the revenue sharing $$ they're pulling down.
It's not an atrocity of a trade. It's an atrocity of a thing to do to a fanbase and a league based on your prior actions.
