Blue Jays: How I feel about the trade with the Astros six weeks later

I’ll admit it, I wasn’t very happy with the Blue Jays’ front office when the month of July was over.

I felt like they had missed an opportunity to get a stronger trade package in exchange for Marcus Stroman, and I was really upset when they dealt Aaron Sanchez to the Houston Astros in a three for one swap. Even if I didn’t mind the idea of a left-handed power-hitting outfielder like Derek Fisher coming over, it felt like a big price to pay.

Without rehashing the whole thing all over again, the reason I was upset was because I felt like the Blue Jays basically gave Sanchez to the Astros in the trade package, as Houston also received Joe Biagini and Cal Stevenson in the deal.
