The Atlanta Braves were surprisingly eliminated by the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 5 of their ALDS series last night. With the loss, former Blue Jays like Josh Donaldson and GM Alex Anthopoulos now enter the offseason pondering what could have been, and also what to do next, especially as Donaldson will hit the free agent market again.
Watching the Cardinals hand the Braves the loss reminded me of a rumour from last off-season, and when I looked at Twitter last night I found out I wasn’t the only one thinking about what could have been.
