The Blue Jays acquired Hector Perez, David Paulino and Ken Giles in exchange for Roberto Osuna at the 2018 trade deadline.
After the deal we saw Giles take over as the Blue Jays closer, and it’s expected that will be the case again this year. Paulino appeared on our prospect rankings a few days ago, coming in at #17, and the third piece in Hector Perez is even a little higher on our list.
Name: Hector Perez
Position: SP Age: 22
Height: 6’3 Weight: 190 lbs
Throws: Right Bats: Right
Acquired: Acquired from the Astros in a trade (2018)
At the time of the trade, Ken Giles was the standout piece of the deal for Toronto, but Perez and Paulino have been garnering attention from Blue Jays fans over the past few months.
