    Going to miss this guy a lot. 2015 and 2016 were such great years, especially after the decades of disappointment from the Jays beforehand.

      Ya they had a chance in 2015 for sure, too bad they lost to the Royals that year in the ALCS (who turned out to be the champs).

      I have a bit of a soft spot for the "forever .500" Jays. The uniforms were terrible, the team was mediocre, but they always seemed to make the games entertaining. I feel spoiled by the 2015 onward Jays.
      I was so disappointed by 2023, and I think I know why, my expectations finally adjusted, to then be let down.

    Donaldson was like the 'heart & soul' of that Blue Jays team in 2015. Clutch HRs, incredible defensive plays, night after night, especially late in the year when the Jays were rocketing up towards winning the AL East division crown that year, we were literally tuned in every night just waiting to see what Donaldson was going to do. And every night he didn't disappoint. That Blue Jays team brought the franchise - and the fanbase, myself included - back to life after years of dullness and disappointment. They literally gave us a chance to believe they could win a championship that season. They kept battling - right up until the final out of the ALCS vs the Royals. They left us literally wanting more.

    2015 and 2016 it was all about Josh Edwin and Jose. Josh was a force and was such a steal when we traded for him. I wish current management would care like AA did that year and went all in.

    • @jessebonello161

      AA had one foot out the door, and knew he wouldn't have to deal with the after effects of various moves, contracts, and purging the farm. There was a lot of clean up work to be done after his departure.

    I was lucky enough to watch alot of games st the dome in those years. The middle of that lineup was one of the most potent in Blue Jays history. Joeybats, double E, and the bringer of rain then adding Tulo. You knew if the pitching staff kept it close there was aways a chance to pull off a comeback. Thank you bringer of rain from blue jays fans from across Canada.

    I certainly remember the day that the Jays acquired JD from the Athletics, I was in total disbelief and walking on a cloud all day. He did not disappoint those first two seasons. A shame how he was injured and at odds with the medical/training staff, leading to his departure. (where is Julian Merryweather these days, anyway?) When he came to Toronto with the Twins in 2021, he got such the ovation that it shook the building. I hope the Jays invite him to a game this season so the 2015 AL MVP can get his flowers from Blue Jays fans one more time. Maybe not "Level of Excellence", but Josh deserves one more last hurrah.

      The 2015 team was legitimately so close to winning a World Series( The Royals were the better team although the Jays made it real interesting at the end ). The 2016 team wasn't quite as good. Not terrible, just, not as good at the plate in the end.

      He called him Jackie because the same player laughably proclaimed himself "The new Jackie Robinson" before. JD was just making fun of the ridiculous comparison. When supply of racism is so low that you have to manufacture a non-story into a racist one. Sad.
