BLUE JAYS, BRAVES SWAP SHORTSTOPS
The Toronto Blue Jays acquired shortstop Yunel Escobar and pitcher Jo-Jo Reyes from the Atlanta Braves for shortstop Alex Gonzalez, pitcher Tim Collins and infielder Tyler Pastornicky.
What does it give the Toronto Blue Jays
Escobar has more upside with the bat than Gonzalez, though perhaps less home-run power. Since the Jays are currently too one-dimensional, Escobar should help the offense. Reyes is a decent lefty who can both start or relieve.
What does it give the Atlanta Braves
Gonzalez is a steadier glove at shortstop, so the Braves hope he can stabilize their infield even further. Collins is a left-handed relief prospect, while Pastornicky is a decent long-range shortstop prospect. This looks like an even swap.
