The Toronto Blue Jays have seen many faces come and go throughout the years. When you examine some of the trades, a few deals actually worked out well. The Blue Jays landed All-Stars Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion, Josh Donaldson, and David Price, all at different times. However, trading away promising players like Jeff Kent and Michael Young proved to head-scratchers.
With that being said, baseball fans like to play the game of “what if” if their team actually pulled off a deal. This applies to the Blue Jays, who almost landed themselves two perennial infielders and a few CY Young Award winners.
