This past offseason one of the biggest debates about the Blue Jays was whether or not to hang on to Josh Donaldson for one more crack at postseason glory, or trade him before the final year of his current contract. Hindsight gives a person 20/20 vision, but obviously the latter would have been the better choice.
Instead the Blue Jays are now faced with a situation where they don’t know if they can get a return for their former MVP at all, let alone one of any substance. There was a time in the not so distant past that Donaldson could have brought back a huge prospect haul for the Blue Jays in their rebuild, but unfortunately that window of opportunity has passed.
