When the first rumours came out about Marcus Stroman and Aaron Sanchez being discussed on the trade market, I assumed it wasn’t much more than other teams asking and looking for a bargain, or maybe Blue Jays’ GM Ross Atkins gauging their perceived value this winter. However, the more the topic continues to come up, the more it appears that there could be some fire behind the smoke.
The latest rumour has the Blue Jays discussing a Stroman trade with the San Diego Padres, who admittedly have one of the more talented minor league systems in baseball.
