Austin Martin Traded to Minnesota

Today is the MLB Trade Deadline, and some dumb moves are about to be made. This, I respectfully submit, will be the dumbest:

Austin Martin reportedly traded from Toronto, which is in Canada, to Minnesota, which is also in Canada. https://t.co/bo9pocTZsF

The Toronto Blue Jays won the draft when they got A-Mart at pick #5 overall last year. They paid him just north of $7 mil for his signing bonus (i.e. they paid him like the #2 overall pick, which he should have been, but Baltimore is not known for making wise decisions).
