Another day, another 24 hours without a significant move by the Blue Jays’ front office, or really, by any GM in baseball. This has been the most painfully slow offseason since free agency began, and now that we’re into the new year, things have to start picking up a little bit, right?
On that note, I’ve got an idea that I’d like to run past the Blue Jays’ front office. It’s unconventional and everything, and the type of trade that almost never happens. I’m suggesting the Blue Jays pursue a trade within their own division.
As the Yankees and Red Sox look poised to dominate the division with their latest arms race, the other two teams, the Orioles and the Rays, have quietly started making plans for the future, The Rays have already traded away their face of the franchise, Evan Longoria, and the rumours persist around the Orioles doing the same with Manny Machado, who is set to be a free agent at the end of the upcoming campaign.
