2 big transactions have taken place in Lucc's first weekend under head office to solidify his team heading into the 2017 season.
First off, the Blue Jays have acquired left fielder Ryan Braun, reliever Neftali Feliz and a Prospect from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for Anthony Alford and JB Woodman. Two prospects who are far from being able to have an instant impact in Toronto. Braun can add some speed and definite power in a ballpark like Rogers Centre and Feliz helps solidify a very questionable Blue Jays bullpen. As for the prospect Luis Alves, here's to hoping he can replace Alford within the Blue Jays minor league system.
Secondly, the Blue Jays organization is proud to have reacquired via free agency 2B/3B Brett Lawrie. He will be asked to be a utility man in Toronto this year and maybe play positions he hasn't in the past. As for his fiery attitude, the Jays hope he keeps himself at bay or he won't be able to stay with this tight knit group for very long.
