32 Years Ago Today On August 27, 1992, the Blue Jays traded for David Cone from the Mets. We traded for him twice, this being the first time. Jeff Kent and Ryan Thompson went to New York. At the time of the trade, the Jays were 72-55 up two games on the Orioles in the AL East. We would go 24 and 11 the rest of the way. Kent played with the Mets until the end of July 1996. Then, they sent him to Cleveland. From there, he went to the Giants, where he became a star.
00 ERA, and two starts in our World Series win, 0-0 with a 3.48 ERA. We won the World Series, so we won the trade. Kent wasn’t likely to get the playing time needed with the Blue Jays to become the player he was with the Giants. The Jays also traded for Cone at the start of the 1995 season. Unfortunately, that season didn’t go as well. 24 Years Ago Today Darrin Fletcher hit three home runs against the Rangers, helping the Jays win a 6-4. Fletcher hit 20 home runs in 122 games that season.
