Since there is almost nothing to talk about around the Toronto Blue Jays lately, I figured I’d take a look back at one of the biggest trades in club history, and imagine what it might be like if a deal of that magnitude happened today. This is a purely hypothetical exercise and has no merit whatsoever, so let’s try not to take this too seriously.
Looking back at the massive trade from 1990, the Blue Jays acquired an eventual Hall of Fame second baseman, and a middle of the order power threat who helped define the Blue Jays’ offence for the biggest seasons in franchise history.
