Once considered nemeses in the early days of computers, tech giants IBM and Apple recently decided to set aside their differences in a historically contradictory partnership.

There is the build up to the July 31 trade deadline … Although nothing like the past week has ever been experienced in the Blue Jays clubhouse in the 39-year history of the franchise as far as this much talent arriving.
