Makes sense. Can somebody explain how player to be named later works? What if they offer a long line of players the jays don’t value as highly? Or the jays could hold out forever for a player much better than phillips. Is there a deadline involved for completing the trade?

When setting up a “player to be named later” Teams often postpone the final terms of a trade
1) to better assess what positions their team needs to fill and
2) to better judge the other team’s talent before closing the deal.
When setting up a “player to be named later” transaction, the teams generally agree on a list of five to 10 players from which the final selection will be made. Players to be named are rarely of star caliber.
Two rules govern player-to-be-named-later transactions. The deal must close within six months and the player must change leagues (which is why most players to be named later are minor leaguers).
Maybe that will help…
