While there is a section of the Blue Jays’ fan base that is thinking, “finally, they signed someone!”, there is an equal or bigger group that’s thinking, “Really?!? Curtis Granderson??”.
A few years ago it may have been the blockbuster that fans were waiting for, but at 36 years old (he’ll be 37 before Opening Day), the former New York Yankee isn’t the player he once was. He’s still serviceable to be sure, evidenced by the 26 home runs and 64 RBI he posted last year between the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers, but he’s lost a step or two, and can’t hit lefties much at all anymore.
