This isn’t news to Blue Jays fans, but a reality for a player who once hoped to pick up a multi-year contract at season’s end.
That may or may not happen now.
Injuries and the residual lack of playing time have left Josh Donaldson with a wash for a 2018 season.
Having only competed in 52 games mixed between the Indians/Blue Jays this past season, and a scaled down 113 games in 2017, it’s fairly easy to see that some value was lost.
Josh is turning 33 before next season starts, and that also has implications for a man seeking long-term tenure with an MLB franchise.
