There’s a good chance that as long as Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins work for the Blue Jay, that we’ll automatically consider the Cleveland Indians when it come to roster building in Toronto. We’ve seen it happen before when they swapped Josh Donaldson for Julian Merryweather, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see another trade come together at some point before their tenure is over.
There’s the trade route, and then there’s also the free agent market that could include former Cleveland players that could catch the eye of the Blue Jays’ front office, and I’d like to discuss one long-shot possibility today.
