After a flurry of trades over the last few days and weeks of speculation, thankfully we’re done with the trade deadline for another season. It’s exciting and all, but it’s been a tough one for Blue Jays fans, even those of us that buy into the rebuild in Toronto right now.
Personally, after most of the trades were announced I went and did some reading and watched some video on the Blue Jays’ newest organizational assets. In most cases, the more time I spent doing that the better I felt about what had just happened. There is one standout exception though, as the more I looked into the trade with the Houston Astros yesterday, the more I shook my head.
