Despite the lack of much early trade movement from the Blue Jays so far, it’s expected that they’ll be among the busiest sellers at the trade deadline this year. Their headline piece in J.A. Happ got another start against the Red Sox on Thursday, and while it was far from his best, I don’t believe it’ll hurt his value on the trade market. Quality starting pitching is hard to find, and nobody is perfect every time out.
There were a few other highlights in the game, including Devon Travis‘ grand slam to bring the contest back to respectability, but the Jays ultimately dropped the contest by a score of 9-5.
