The Josh Donaldson trade is going to be something that’s debated among Blue Jays fans for years, regardless of how the rest of his, or Julian Merryweather‘s careers finish out. It would help if Merryweather became a solid rotation piece, and/or Donaldson didn’t return to being an MVP calibre player, but the complaining will persist regardless.
To some degree that’s understandable, but fans must also remember that hindsight is 20/20 and when Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins elected to keep their star third baseman and give competiting a shot in 2018, I was admittedly in favour at the time.
