Three Years Ago Today The Jays made three trades. Two went very well. One not so well. Robbie Ray came over from the Diamondbacks for Travis Bergen. Bergen pitched 6.2 innings for the Diamondbacks at the end of last season, and then we got him back at the end of February for cash.
And Steve Delabar Adam Lind turns 40 today. Adam Lind was on our prospect list back when I first joined BBB. I remember the argument about whether he’d turn out to be a ‘40 home run’ guy.
Marco Estrada turns 40 today. Back on November 1, 2014, we weren’t exactly thrilled with the trade of Adam Lind for Marco Estrada. Here is something I said: I’d likely be happier with the trade if we got someone younger.
