Stroman is almost like trading for a starter without having to give up anything. Will he keep the pace of the last 2 games up? No, probably not. But there's no way in hell I want to see AA trade a young stud for a guy like Lester who would only stick around in T.O. for a couple months, then bolt. If he's going to trade any decent assets it better be for players they have under control for a couple years or more.
Too bad guys like Delabar and Santos have gone off the rails. If those two were on their game the Jays would be in a very nice position. I think the only deals we see the team make in the next couple of days (if they do make a move) will be band-aids or depth. Hopefully they can keep this streak going for a bit longer, then getting Lind, Lawrie, and EE back could be the players to put them over the top.
