Josh Donaldson's tenure with the Blue Jays has included a Most Valuable Player award and consecutive American League Championship Series berths.
And he is increasingly likely to be playing for a new team this weekend.
Donaldson is one of the most intriguing trade candidates in the Majors ahead of Friday's midnight ET deadline to be eligible for postseason rosters. 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, 32, has been limited to 36 Major League games this season by injuries, most notably a calf issue that kept him out of game action for three months.
