High Hopes For the Blue Jays This Year

When the Toronto Blue Jays were putting together a package to get Cy Young Award Winner for the Mets, they were willing to include the best catching prospect in baseball, Travis D'Arnaud. Why were they willing to part with such a young stud? They already have a catcher, JP Arencibia.
Arencibia's .222/.275/.433, while not terrible for a catcher, certainly isn't very good. But it's Arencibia's appeal with female fans that makes him so valuable (at least according to Red Sox supposed plan to boost TV ratings).



"Hey JP, It's B-Jay Time!"
"JP Check Out My Dugout"

You just can't disappoint devoted fans like those by trading away their favorite player, it's not good for business. So the Jays made the right decision keeping their establish catcher and giving the Mets D'Arnaud.
