Thinking the key to the deal was Atlanta's 4 International bonus slots.

According to reports they only got Atlanta's #4 slot, not four total.

They GAVE the Braves 3 slots.

Other than that, great job, Fork and Sterling.

Didn't realize I was supposed to list the entire trade instead of correct him on how many slots they're getting from Atlanta.  Way to go, Sterling, you shitty mindreader.

So Martin to the Blue Jays? Am I hearing this correctly?

What now, Theo? How many more tears?
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

I liked Martin well enough but I'm fine with not getting him for that contract. He can DH some for the Blue Jays in the later years of the deal, so it may be a bit easier to absorb for them.

Is anyone that upset about the Cubs "missing" out on Martin for 5/$82? 

That's an awful deal.

I can't imagine anyone really wanted the Cubs to do that.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

As much as I liked the idea of Martin I was even a little ugh at 4 years. 5 is insane.

Good for Toronto I guess. They can continue to have a frustrating and pointless team with a good Canadian boy at catcher.
