While getting Brandon Drury and Billy McKinney for a 35 year old veteran starter on an expiring contract is a decent return, the fit isn’t perfect in Toronto. In fact, I wrote about just that earlier today and explained why I don’t feel this trade makes a lot of sense for the Blue Jays.
That said, we don’t know the whole plan or the big picture of what Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins have up their sleeve. However, I’m willing to bet we could guess a move that’ll be coming in the not so distant future: trading an infielder.
