The Toronto Blue Jays are entering the stage where they fondly reminisce about some of the highlights over the past calendar year. They played a wildly entertaining regular season that culminated in a terrific postseason run. One of the trades they made prior to that dream season is celebrating its one-year anniversary.
The Blue Jays traded with Cleveland last December for Andrés Giménez and Nick Sandlin in exchange for Spencer Horwitz and Nick Mitchell. The Guardians then flipped Horwitz to the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he posted a decent 118 OPS+ in 108 games.
Mitchell played A-ball for the Guardians and posted decent offensive numbers as well.
