This isn't really directed at you, but I used your post as a reference point for this.
Just to touch on the potential Donaldson trade aspect for a moment, the only way the Jays consider dealing Donaldson before the deadline or in the offseason is if they are absolutely blown away by an offer. That is incredibly unlikely to happen, as he only has a year + of control left.
The Jays are still planning to compete next year, and losing Donaldson obviously severely lessens their chances of getting to the playoffs in 2018.
As it was theorized in the DDL thread, trading Donaldson for Devers just wouldn't be enough to offset the likelihood of a losing season next year with Donaldson gone.
Like I said, Shatkins would have to be blown away, trade value be damned.
