Lately it feels like if the Blue Jays didn’t have any bad luck then they might not have any luck at all.
As the team approaches the July 31st trade deadline in an obviously rebuilding season, it’s no secret that many of their veterans are going to be on the block. With several players on either expiring contracts or ones with just one more year remaining, the front office has an eye on bringing in as many young assets as they can to supplement the young core that they already have in place.
That list could include several veterans such as the frequently discussed Marcus Stroman, slugging first baseman Justin Smoak, and perhaps Freddy Galvis, although Ross Atkins seems to like the 29-year-old infielder quite a bit.
