Barring catastrophe, the Blue Jays will trade veteran third baseman Josh Donaldson before tonight’s 11:59 PM postseason eligibility deadline. Toronto appears fully committed to moving the former MVP. In an exciting turn of events, Steve Phillips reports that the Yankees are indeed in the mix for a Donaldson trade.
Donaldson, 32, has had a disastrous 2018 season. A plethora of injuries have limited the slugger to just 36 games. Over that period, he hit .234/.333/.423 with five home runs. He’s currently participating in rehab games after a lengthy stint on the disabled list with a calf injury.
