It’s been a tough last week or so for Blue Jays fans, especially if you were among those that still felt attached to the playrs from the 2015-16 rosters that made the postseason and reignited a lot of passion for baseball in Canada.
We knew a lot of these trades would happen before they did, especially for a rebuilding club like the Blue Jays. Marcus Stroman was rumoured to be on the market for weeks or even months in advance of being sent to the New York Mets, and others like Daniel Hudson and David Phelps were likely trade targets for other contending teams.
