For the second consecutive year, the Blue Jays gave their fans plenty to be excited about leading up to the trade deadline. It certainly helps that the Jays are in contention again this season, as they were last year (actually much better off at this point), and allows the front office to be more aggressive.
There were more aggressive teams to be sure. The Texas Rangers added Jonathan Lucroy and Carlos Beltran, the Dodgers added Josh Reddick and Rich Hill, the Cubs Aroldis Chapman and Joe Smith.
