Want to talk about a robbery? Ross Atkins and the crew just traded prospect Hansel Rodriguez to the San Diego Padres in exchange for Melvin Upton Jr. and cash. Plus, the Padres will eat $17 million owed to Upton; Jays essentially paying him only $5 million. What an incredible deal for the Jays. Upton's a legit 20/20 guy, and that speed can certainly help this ball club. He's also good defensively, which can spell the woes of Saunders and Bautista. Talk is that he'd be all over the outfield while the Jays DH Saunders and Bautista more often. But man, to get that bat and speed at such low price is very good.
