You know, why don't you guys just go admit that the Yankees steal the division every year. It's ok when you buy it -- you have the resources, you use them. I can live with that. But Mondesi for one minor league lefty?!?!?! 30 years ago, Bowie Kuhn invalidated several deals that the A's made and the A's got a whole lot more for Vida Blue than the Jays got for Mondesi. It's not just sour grapes from a Sox fan, either. Deals like that one, and the fire sale in Miami back in '96 are bad for overall competition and the health of the industry.

The deal does kinda make ya wonder if someone has a picture of the Jay's GM and a donkey,doesn't it?
Btw,you left out the fact that the Jays are paying half of Mondesi's salary next year,too.That'll let George buy a pitcher in August,in case he thinks he needs another one then.
