When the 2014 season came to a close, the Blue Jays finished four games above .500. They had a decent pitching staff in veterans R.A. Dickey and Mark Buehrle, along with youngsters Drew Hutchison and Marcus Stroman. Their line-up was filled with power hitters like Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion, so GM Alex Anthopoulos was looking to take the next jump. Anthopoulos signed Canadian free agent catcher Russell Martin on November 18, 2014 and 10 days later made one of the greatest trades in franchise history.
