The Blue Jays decided to trade catcher Danny Jansen to the Red Sox yesterday and Jansen spoke to the media after the game regarding the mixed emotions he was facing.
Jansen stated he is excited to get things going with the Red Sox but the trade still feels surreal since he has been with the Blue Jays organization since he was a kid and raised a family in Toronto.
«I grew up here. I became a man here and raised a family,» Jansen said. «They've been here a lot. There's a whole lot of emotions, but I'm excited to go to an atmosphere I've played in as a visitor and to continue on this season. There's a lot of mixed emotions right now.»
It seems like Jansen was hoping the team would end up wanting to offer a last minute extension but Ross Atkins seems to have other plans on his mind even though fans are wondering who will replace Jansen.
