I don't think the Jays signed Granderson as their everyday outfielder personally. I agree they will platoon him and given he is still a pretty good RH hitter that does fill a big need for them. Plus provides good competition with guys like Hernandez and Alfrod or even Pompey as they fight for at bats. Move makes alot of sense to me, even though I didn' t like it at first.
It looks to me like the time to trade Donaldson was last summer, and not it probably make more sense to keep him and see what happens rather than trade him. When you look at the prices of what players are going for who are pending FA or have a year left it's not really that impressive. i think the return if they wanted to move Donaldson today would be underwhelming.
