The Toronto Blue Jays have traded Brett Lawrie to the Oakland Athletics for Josh Donaldson. and earlier this offseason they got all-start catcher Russell Martin. Even though its just two players that the Jays got these two can still make a difference and with what happened last year when the Jays were in first until the halfway mark and then they dropped because of injuries if these two new players stay healthy the jays could have a great chance to make it to the postseason. the trade for Donaldson was a shock to Jays fans everywhere who would have thought that Brett Lawrie would be traded a Canadian boy playing for the only Canadian team in baseball and one of the fans favorite gone just like that. Was the trade bad for Toronto?. No it was not the jays got an all-star player but was the trade bad for Oakland? yes in my opinion Oakland just lost a important player. But Lawrie said "It`s a fresh start and I am excited to play for this team". And with Aaron Sanchez possibly being a starter that can enhance the chances of the jays having a playoff season under their belt.
I think that the new additions made are great deals and there are even more players out in the free agency market just waiting to be snatched up and the jays can add even more power to any part of their lineup or bullpen. The Jays are looking toward having a great year coming up. cant wait for the season to start.
