Point-Counterpoint: The Blue Jays Should Look To Trade A Starter

The Blue Jays should take advantage of a weak free agent market for starting pitching by selling in the 2016 offseason.

Note: This article is the first in a point-counterpoint discussion. The opposing view will be published later this week.

There is an old adage in baseball that a team can never have too much starting pitching. But there is another adage that says that a team should be open to any trade that makes the team better. Of the two, I favour the latter.

The upcoming 2016-17 free agent class is remarkable in the lack of high-quality starting pitching options.
