In response to "the Yanks want Scott Downs from the Jays, who are holding out for Joba Chamberlain in return -- (link)" by Beaker

The guys on ESPN radio were saying they wanted Jesus Montero. I wouldn't give them either player for Downs.

If the Jays are rebuilding then they should keep him, he's an A rated player that will bring them two first round picks if/when he gets signed in the offseason.

Draft picks are always a crap-shoot. If you can trade for a relatively known prospect, that trumps the picks. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 28, 12:39
This is correct. -- nm - TFox Jul 28, 12:20 7
- If you can get someone to give up a Montero, go for it..... - Will Hunting Jul 28, 12:21 6
  - I think that's probably just it. That the Jays know the Yankees have already allowed themselves to "part" with him once, that they might get lucky. - Name Withheld By Request Jul 28, 12:36 3
    - Heh. Yes, but that was for Cliff Lee not Scott Downs. Not exactly on the same level. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 12:38 2
      - No argument. I would be floored if they got either out of the deal. - Name Withheld By Request Jul 28, 12:40 1
        
        I don't blame them for trying and you never know how stupid a team can be. The Yanks have made plently of crappy trades. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 12:43
  - right, but they (the Yanks) would never do that. -- nm - TFox Jul 28, 12:24
  - Sure. The Yanks would be fools to trade Montero for a 34 year old relief picther. - Krusty Jul 28, 12:23
