Trade - Blue Jays/Red Sox

[ThePetis]

The :TOR2: and :BOS2: have reached agreement on a trade:

:BOS2: Receives:
1B Albert Pujols $28M (2016)
OF Eric Young Jr. $1.85M (2015)
SP Roenis Elias $440K (2019)
:TOR: 12th round pick

:TOR2: Receives:
RP Andrew Miller $1.9M (2015)
SP Danny Salazar $480K (2018)
SP Brian Johnson
SP Frank Montas
SP Wes Parsons

:TOR2: confirms.  Though Pujols is no longer the stud he once was, he was still one of the top 1B last season.  Tough to deal him, but the financial flexibility is really appealing.  I pick up a stud RP and a few SP prospects that I like.  I prefer Salazar over Elias, so small upgrade there in my eyes as well (though with one less year of control).

:BOS2: to confirm.

Red Sox confirm.  I hate giving up some of the prospects but I am looking to fill my roster with everyday players.  Adding Pujols is a huge plus which gives me a very good starting first baseman.  As far as Young Jr., he is a player that I like and I am hoping he will return to his 2013 form and playing almost everyday, he has the speed to put up plenty of steals if given the chance to play on a regular basis.  To me Elias and Salazar are very similar and I like the extra year of control.
