The trade involving Orlando Hudson and Miguel Batista to the Diamondbacks in exchange for Troy Glaus and Sergio Santos marked a pivotal shift for the Blue Jays, addressing their need for a power hitter and altering their roster strategy significantly.
Troy Glaus became essential for the Jays with his power hitting, tallying 38 home runs in 2006 and 20 in 2007, despite struggles with injuries.
The mid-2000s roster shifts, including trades involving players like Corey Koskie and Shea Hillenbrand, underscored the Jays' attempts to rebuild and respond to performance issues that plagued their corner infield positions.
Hinske's trade to the Red Sox was a notable decision as he went on to become a part of a World Series winning team, showcasing the unpredictable nature of player transitions and successes.
