Josh Donaldson Laid Into Blue Jays Management And The Best Is Yet To Come
Donaldson on his situation with the #Bluejays front office this year: “There’s a lot I can say about that but I choose not to say anything about it right now. There will be a time."

We can’t wait until it’s time.
JD hit a dinger in Dunedin Thursday night and after the game let it be known that he has a lot to say about the way he’s been treated since Team Shatkins arrived on the scene. Pretty shitty feeling for a guy who explodes on the scene in Toronto, and wins the 2nd ever MVP award in the 42-year tenure of the franchise.

We are siding with JD on this one, even if his calf is hurting because all of the golf he played in the offseason and nothing initially related to baseball activities.
Team Shatkins have taken a back to back playoff team to basically the bottom-feeding of the AL East and now have everyone waiting for 2020. Why? It didn’t have to be like this. We should have known the confusion was coming, as they preached more versatile and athletic and then immediately signed Steve Pearce and Kendrys Morales.
Anyways, don’t expect much in return for JD, he’ll get pennies on the dollar.
From a few Blue Jays employees that we have talked to in the last week, it sounds like the Cleveland Indians are the team to watch and Jon Heyman, a very credible source mentioned the Tribe could be a fit:
josh donaldson came through last night's game fine and is going on trade waivers today so he can be traded on Friday's waiver deadline. #STLCards and #Indians seem like logical spots, but sources suggest there are other teams showing some interest.

If it is indeed the Tribe, Blue Jay’s fans should jump on the bandwagon and cheer on Eddy and JD to a ring presentation.
The news should drop in 3 hours about where he is heading.
Where has the time gone?
