I admit that when I first read the tweet by Jon Morosi linking the St. Louis Cardinals to the Toronto Blue Jays as potential trade partners (see the tweet below the fourth paragraph below), I was skeptical. My skepticism faded a touch when I attended a Memphis Redbirds game last week and was greeted by several Blue Jay scouts.
Seeing scouts at minor league games is not something out of the ordinary. Seeing Blue Jay scouts at a game a few days after a rumor tweet is released seems like too much of coincidence for this writer. The question remains, however, if this pairing makes sense?
