Blue Jays Right to Gamble Future on Win-Now Roster, but It Better Work

David Price and his dog Astro are on their way to Toronto and, woof, woof, just how big is this for the Blue Jays?

Make no mistake, this could be the most important baseball trade in that city since the Jays acquired second baseman Roberto Alomar and outfielder Joe Carter from the San Diego Padres for Tony Fernandez and Fred McGriff before the 1991 season.

That was an absolutely stunning blockbuster at the time and, two Toronto World Series championships later, the Blue Jays had earned the reputation as one of the game's best organizations and solidified their place in baseball history.
