Sources say that at some points in the past the Jays have tried for Rougned Odor, though it’s possible those efforts came before the famous punch-out incident of Blue Jays icon Jose Bautista. Anyway, the Jays are in the market for a second baseman now, so it would be interesting to see if they’d try to revisit that at some point. It isn’t certain when all the inquiries were made, and Odor isn’t the most popular fellow in Toronto now. But as one Jays connected person pointed out, “Bautista’s probably a short timer there.” One interesting connection: Jays president Mark Shapiro employed Rougned’s uncle Rouglas Odor with the Indians for two decades so there is a connection there (Rouglas was a player for seven years in the Indians system, then a coach/manager for another 14). So there’s a link there. And while Rougned is beloved by Rangers people, one might wonder how he’d do in a Jays clubhouse that included Bautista (and still does).
