Seven Years Ago Today: The Blue Jays signed Kendrys Morales to a 3-year, $33 million contract. I remember, at the time, it surprised me. I didn’t think we’d be signing a DH-only guy, or at least not until after Edwin Encarnación and Jose Bautista had signed somewhere else. At the time, it seemed that the Jays had decided they couldn’t sign Edwin and wanted to move fast. Unfortunately, moving fast turned out to be a bit of a mistake.
There was a lot made of how good he was with our younger players, becoming a mentor to some. But I don’t think that made him a good signing. We had several posts on the signing: The announcement. Some thoughts a day later. And a scouting report from Max Rieper of Royals Review. The poll at the time was generally positive. It isn’t the first time we’ve been wrong. He was a likeable guy. It is too bad that it didn’t work out for us.
