The rumour mill quieted down for a few days around the Christmas break, but don’t be surprised if things pick right back up in short order here, possibly even before the calendar flips to 2019.
One of the last rumours we heard about the Blue Jays before Christmas was that there was a potential deal being discussed with the Sad Diego Padres about Marcus Stroman. It doesn’t sound like things are very far along, but as we’ve seen in the past with trades, things can change in a real hurry.
We could debate whether or not Stroman should be traded at all, or what kind of return the Blue Jays should expect if they do pull the trigger, but I’d like to look at another aspect of the whole thing.
