Could R.A. Dickey's Time In Toronto Be Coming To An End?

The man who won the National League Cy Young Award last season could be seeing his time in Toronto be coming to an end. 38-year old knuckleballer R.A. Dickey was acquired from the New York Mets in exchange for top catching prospect Travis d'Arnaud and highly touted pitching prospect Noah Syndergaard. The opening day starter for the Toronto Blue Jays this season seems to have lost whatever he had during his miracle season last season. Some may say that he is not up to the daunting challenge of facing American League hitters or the fact that Dickey no longer gets a "free" out when the pitcher comes up to bat.

Whatever it is, Dickey has absolutely not lived up to the hype and value that he was traded to the Blue Jays for. Dickey has yet to bring his ERA below 6.00. The problem with the Blue Jays trading him is that his trade value is superbly low because of the numbers (or lack of) that he has put up for the Blue Jays this season. Don't be surprised if Dickey is moved as part of a deal at or around the trade deadline this season.
