The media reaction to the Blue Jays signing Lazaro Estrada and Brendon Little to Triple-A Buffalo has been almost nonexistent, and that silence is its own verdict. These are the kinds of organizational depth moves that generate a single transaction wire blurb and nothing more — no analysis, no debate, no excitement. Both pitchers carry the weight of previous big-league opportunities that didn't stick, which frames these signings less as additions with upside and more as familiar names filling out a depth chart. Fan reaction has mirrored the media's indifference, with the prevailing read being that Toronto is patching holes rather than making meaningful moves. A D- sentiment grade is the accurate call here — when the loudest thing about a signing is the quiet surrounding it, that tells you everything you need to know.
