Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson has been told that he's been traded to the Indians, according to a report from Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan on Friday night.
A deal became more realistic Thursday, when Donaldson demonstrated his health by going 1-for-3 with a home run in a Minor League rehabilitation game for the Dunedin Blue Jays. Donaldson cleared waivers on Friday, according to MLB Network insider Jon Heyman, making him eligible to be traded to any team.
Donaldson, who won the 2015 American League Most Valuable Player Award, has been limited to 36 games this year because of injuries, most notably a left calf issue.
