110 - "Pillar Trade" - Toronto Blue Jays Talk

Weekly Toronto Blue Jays TalkIt was only a matter of time before the Jays pulled the trigger on trading the longest tenured player on the team, Kevin Pillar. Ever since Opening Day when Anthony Alford was seen in Toronto, fans were operating on the when and not if aspect of when a deal would come to fruition. Today, the Jays made the move as they engaged in trade conversations with the San Francisco Giants, who have long been reported to have an interest in Pillar. In return, the Jays get 2 RH Pitchers and a utility infielder in Derek Law, Juan De Paula, and Alen Hansen, respectively. The team is now down to just Marcus Stroman, Aaron Sanchez, Justin Smoak, and Ryan Tepera as members of the 2015 & ‘16 teams that recharged the fanbase. To discuss these and other topics, host Adam Corsair is joined by Richard Birfer.
