Over the weekend, the Toronto Blue Jays traded their longest tenured player, Danny Jansen to the Boston Red Sox. Now, some history could be made in August after the trade.

MLB suspended the Jays/Red Sox game June 26th in the second inning for rain. Jansen started the game for the Jays. On August 26th, the suspended game will be played and if he starts for the Red Sox he could become the first player in MLB history to play for two teams in the same game.

Quite the feat.
