The Blue Jays will apparently not be negotiating a contract extension with slugging third baseman Josh Donaldson any time soon.
General manager Alex Anthopoulos indicated as much when asked about it Monday. "I don't think so," he told 590 The Fan.
Donaldson has more than lived up to expectations this season with a slash line of .301/.360/.540 and 48 RBI. He is enjoying arguably his best season, but the lack of motivation to extend him is understandable. He is locked up through 2018.
