Also on this day, Jays trade for Damaso Garcia.
Nine Years Ago Alex Anthopoulos traded Adam Lind to the Brewers for Marco Estrada. I wasn’t overly thrilled about the trade. He appeared to be a mediocre 5th starter/long reliever/swingman type. I expected a little more for Lind. I worried about Estrada’s tendency to give up home runs. The AL East seemed the wrong place for a guy who gives up home runs. The next day, we put up a poll, and, well, most of us didn’t like the trade: As it turned out, the trade worked out very well for us. Lind hit .
Happ had a rough time in Seattle, and they traded him to the Pirates at the deadline. With the help of Ray Searage, he became a top-of-the-rotation pitcher. After the season, he signed a 3-year free-agent contract with us. His second stint with the Jays was 40-21 with a 3.55 ERA in 77 starts. We traded him to the Yankees at the deadline in 2018. As a Yankee, he was 21-10 with a 4.13 ERA in the year and a half. The Yankees turned down his contract option for 2021 last week.
