He was acquired from the San Francisco Giants along with pitchers Derek Law and Juan De Paula in the trade that sent Blue Jays fan favorite Kevin Pillar to the bay area. Alen Hanson has had a tepid start to his Blue Jays career slashing .179 with 11 strikeouts over 28 at bats.
He does have five hits and three RBI’s over that time, but it’s still not a good look for a player contending for a roster spot. Historically Hanson has had issues drawing walks in his young career, taking only nine free passes for the Giants in 2018 over 294 at bats.
