On the eve of Opening Day, one Blue Jays fan encountered a pleasant surprise while out on a snack run.
Brendan Panikkar and his girlfriend Sarah Ranby stopped by Shoppers Drug Mart in Toronto on Wednesday night to buy some snacks when he noticed some big news on his phone. Panikkar told The Star that he saw a report about Blue Jays designated hitter Kendrys Morales being traded to the A's and quickly called out to Ranby to share the news.
However, another shopper, who happened to be Blue Jays reliever Joe Biagini, heard Pannikar and asked him repeat the trade news.
