MLBTR recently published an article discussing potential trade partners for Marcus Stroman, likely one of the Jays’ top trade chips at this upcoming trade deadline. As they (correctly) pointed out, there are many teams who could find a spot for a pitcher of Stro’s calibre. The article stopped, however, at identifying possible prospects that the Jays could ask for in exchange for a Stroman or Ken Giles (or David Phelps, or Justin Smoak, etc, etc).
So let me do that.
My criteria are as follows. First, the trade partner has to be realistic.
