Why the Jays Need to Add

Your lovable Toronna Blue Jays are two games out of first place and they just won 8 of their last 10.
Last year widely regarded as one of their best in two decades saw the Jays at one time sitting 50 and 51. Your Boys are currently sitting at 51 and 40. Get the fuck out of your seats and start clapping.

Heading into the offseason, the Jays had something of a logjam in the outfield. Barring injury, Jose Bautista and Kevin Pillar were guaranteed the right and center field spots, setting the stage for a competition between Ben Revere, Michael Saunders, and Dalton Pompey. Rather than letting things play out, the Jays jettisoned Revere to Washington, reallocating his increasing salary to an area of greater need.

By trading Revere, the organization now has a clear top four in the outfield; Bautista, Pillar, Saunders, and Pompey.
