Jeff Passan tossed out an incredibly vague tweet letting everybody know that Josh Donaldson has been traded. I mean, without saying where he’s going this is barely news because we all knew it was going to happen, but, anyways, there it is.

GET YOUR PITCHFORKS READY THE CLEVELAND BOYS SENT HIM TO THEIR HOME CLUB CLEVELAND AHHHHHHHHH THEY DON’T EVEN WANT THE JAYS TO WIN AT ALL IT’S ALL ABOUT CLEEEVVVEEELAAAAAND

Jokes aside, boy, this is the most hilarious place they possibly could have traded him. Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins already don’t have the endearment of most of the fanbase because they’ve been labelled since Day 1 as the penny-pinching-Cleveland-outsiders who shoved a local hero out of his role. Now they’re dealing a franchise legend to their former team for pennies on the dollar? Woof.

I mean, it’s not like this is actually what’s going on here, but still, it’s a funny look, you have to admit.

Anyways, we’ll wait and see what coupons and autographed memorabilia the Jays get back in return.

That’s all for now. I’m going to take a little bit to let this sink in before actually giving an analysis of what went down because I don’t want to put out something overly-emotional and not worthwhile. It’s obviously super shitty seeing Donaldson go, although we all knew it was going to happen. The worst part for me is how it seemed there was a really realistic opportunity to give him a redemption tour but the organization wasn’t interested in it.

Regardless, thank you Josh Donaldson for being a fucking boss.
