Toronto Blue Jays most likely to acquire R.A Dickey through trade with New York Mets-MLB Update
According to some credible sources, Toronto Blue Jays are close to signing a trade agreement with the New York Mets involving R.A Dickey.
The latest development has come at a time when the other day it was reported that a number of teams were eager to take Dickey from the Mets.
The news right now is that Dickey is all set to leave the town and join the Blue Jays. The sources have further claimed Dickey has no complaints going to Toronto.
He is ready to be their regular member for the 2013 major league season.
The official announcement is expected soon.
The trade will be good for the Dickey for two reasons. First is because it will clear his mind from confusions. The second is it will straighten his focus right on the preparations for the upcoming season.
After all the apprehensions expressed by some of the Mets’ officials over the effectiveness of 38-year-old knuckleballer, Dickey has a point to prove.
He has to demonstrate to the world that he is still as capable as he was in the last season.
He has to show off that he can continue his success as a starting pitcher for the many years to come, as opposed to failing after just one good season.
Beyond a doubt, Toronto will provide him with every possible opportunity to do so.
Dickey has been in the Major League Baseball for the last many years. Apart from 2012, his presence in various teams was just as of a mediocre starting pitcher.
Far from being an ace of any club, he was considered an ideal pitcher to have on the mound by the batters, as he could give them run-scoring opportunities.
Through sheer hard work, Dickey has improved his skills to such an extent that the perception of the hitters has drastically changed now.
At the moment, he is more a symbol of their downfall than anyone who comforts them while being faced from the plate.
In short, Dickey is passing through the best time of his career. By many accounts, he will be a healthy addition to the Blue Jays.
There is every reason to believe, he will contribute massively to their successes in 2013.
