Checking in on ex Blue Jays: Are they performing better on their new teams?
It was quite the busy MLB trade deadline for the Toronto Blue Jays and many fans are still wondering what management was thinking even though the team is performing well as of late.
The Jays traded away 7 key pieces of the team i order to bolster their prospect pool and improve their salary situation in order to sign some big names this offseason. Most notably Yusei Kikuchi, Danny Jansen and Justin Turner were all moved to new teams.
But the question remains, how are our ex Blue Jays performing in new cities?

Must read on Blue Jays Insider
AS you can see, Kikuchi, Jansen and Kiermaier are performing vastly better but it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with not being in Toronto anymore, sometimes a change of scenery is all it takes for a player to find his groove again.
