One of the bittersweet moments of the Blue Jays winning the World Series in 1992 was that some of the franchise icons, like George Bell, Alfredo Griffin, and Tony Fernandez weren’t on the team. While they were on their way to a second straight title in 1993, General Manager Pat Gillick tried to reconcile some of those feelings, by trading for Fernandez in a 1-for1 swap with the New York Mets.
This is what the trade looks like:
To Toronto: Tony Fernandez, SS
To New York (NL): Darrin Jackson, OF
This is an odd trade because Jackson had just been traded to the Jays three months earlier on Mar.
