[Marc the Habs Fan]

Both teams hoping for the classic change of scenery here as both have struggled.

It is Benoit`s 39th birthday today coincidentally.

weird trade, both are awful

 

[TootooTrain]

Change of scenery trade to a tee. Hopefully Benoit can find some of this magic.

 

[Slush]

Not sure about this trade. Like hockeykicker has said both are terrible but if I had to choose between the two I would stick with Storen.

Benoit is just old now. Storen is awful though

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I honestly thought Grilli was done and Toronto has gotten incredible value out of him so far. So who knows.

Pretty much. Except the jays making another bad player for bad player trade with storen. Nats and Jay's did a bad player for bad player trade with storen and revere

 

[Dr Pepper]

Shame they couldn't include Loup in with Storen.

Welcome to Toronto, Joaquin!

 

[PG Canuck]

Try out something new and hope it works out ala Grilli.

I see nothing wrong with this.

 

[Terry Yake]

benoit is still in the league?

 

[MMC]

Reminds me of the Grilli-Frieri trade we made a few seasons ago. Liked it when it happened and it ended up working pretty well.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Pitcher traded for older, more expensive version of himself.

Could be an Onion article headline.

Apparently. The Jays like their older age pitchers. I'm willing to give him a chance as a Jay. We'll see how it goes.

 

[Reality Check]

If Benoit isn't finished, he is running on fumes.

Storen, meanwhile, has just completely fallen apart. However, I wouldn't be surprised if he makes himself useful in San Diego due to their ballpark.

 

[Voight]

He's been real solid & dependable up until this year, think he'll do ok on a much better team.

i'll be surprised if the mariners start playing their home games in san diego.

Storen gives up 4 runs in his debut.

No surprise there! He must really hate playing in the American League. Goes to show hitters in the American League for the most part are much better than National League hitters.

At the time of the trade neither were terrible though. They both turned to **** afterwards. Change of scenery can help for these two. Worked for Grilli

Low risk trade. Why not. I wouldn't mind adding a dependable reliever though. Not an elite one just a good one and I'll be pleased with our chances.

Think he got confused with the Upton trade.

benoit was decent again today.
