With the Gambo database, I was able to trade for players such as Dave Winfield, Paul Molitor, Jack Morris and Dave Stewart prior to the 77 season. I also allow myself to trade for players who did not play for the real-life Jays if I include them in trades for these other guys. ie. I obtained Ozzie Smith with Dave Winfield and Bob Welch with Dave Stewart.

I'd run all over that rule. For instance, in 80ish I'd nab up Rickey Henderson from the A's (along with Micky Klutts - who did play a season in TOR). I'd imagine you could find a player on almost every team that at some point played for the Jays.
That said - I think you should change your rule & have a minimum Blue Jay tenure. Cuz after I read your post, I thought - c'mon, you can't call Winfield a Blue Jay, heck I had to look it up to remember that he did play for 'em !
