The Blue Jays traded fan favorite pitcher Yusei Kikuchi to the Astros two days ago and he made an incredibly sad statement in his last interview as a Blue Jays player.
Yusei Kikuchi told reporters he is thankful to the organization and pitching coach Pete walker for sticking with him during tough times. He added that his son loves Canada and does not want to move which has made this entire situation even harden on him.
Yusei Kikuchi:
Grateful to Pete Walker and how he stuck by him through his struggles in his first year with the team..
His only regret was not winning in the postseason.
His family loved Toronto, his son does not want to "move away from Canada.. that makes it tough for me."

This interview is precisely why Kikuchi was so loved by the fans, he was only in Toronto for a few years but saw Canada as his new home.
