NO COLLUSION!!

Last year, Blue Jays 'brain trust' fires good Canadian general manager and appoints baseball guy from Cleveland who begins dismantling the team. Best hitter immediately traded to Cleveland. Next best hitter released...

This year, trade all star best hitter (on DL) to Cleveland for a player to be named later!?!? WTF????

Sorry. I forgot. I don't give a shit anymore....

There are many Cleveland fans who scratch their heads at the Donaldson trade, since he's been on the DL since May!

Hey we often trade or let go of our best players, too. That's the business of baseball.... I would have loved to have signed McCutcheon instead of letting the Yankees snatch him up.

Their business model, as far as I could see, was to develop talent and then sell it.
