Fifteen years ago today The Blue Jays traded Brandon League and Johermyn Chavez to the Mariners for Brandon Morrow . Hugo posted this: Chavez seemed like an okay prospect then, but he didn’t pan out. He never made it to the majors. Brandon League was a favourite of mine, and Hugo liked him too: Anytime you can trade a reliever for a starter....you should do it. League turned into a decent closer, putting up 52 saves and a 3.26 ERA in 2.5 seasons for the M’s.
Hill made a great effort, and I remember hoping the official scorer would call it an error, but it wasn’t. At the time, I thought we’d see him get that no-hitter one day, but it never happened. Since leaving the Jays, Brandon spent two injury-filled seasons with the Padres. Then he had a good year with the Dodgers, posting a 2.06 ERA in 43.2 innings out of the pen and pitching in all seven games of the World Series that year. In 2018, he pitched for the Cubs, posting a 1.47 ERA in 30.
