I agree. On paper, they're the best team now in the division. I probably wouldn't have said that before this deal (still NYY perhaps), but this pushes them over the top. I've been asking for these kind of moves and this kind of effort to win for over a decade now and it's finally happening.
Also Anthopoulos said this at the conference call tonight...sounds like it's his plan to extend him as I figured.

#bluejays GM Anthopoulos: "Hopefully a guy like Josh Johnson can be part of (a multi-year run) that too going forward."
