34 years ago, the trade that swapped Fernandez and McGriff for Alomar and Carter became pivotal in Blue Jays' history, leading to significant success.
At the time, I thought the Blue Jays traded away the best shortstop and a Hall of Fame potential first baseman for unproven talents, which felt risky.
Despite my initial skepticism, Alomar’s early performance should have indicated his future Hall of Fame status; betting on young successes is often wise.
Carter was seen as overrated and past his prime, yet he thrived under a supportive manager, showcasing the importance of a good fit.
