It’s been a few weeks now since the Blue Jays traded Josh Donaldson to the Cleveland Indians for a player to be named later (who we now know is Julian Merryweather). While some of the anger has subsided a bit for Blue Jays fans, the situation continues to fester outside of the organization, and it might be to Toronto’s benefit.
After a major trade like the one that sent Donaldson to Cleveland, it’s natural for baseball analysts to dig into the story, give their opinions, and ultimately see if there was more to what happened than what we’re initially told.
