In the harsh reality of the baseball world, things could always change very quickly. You could be a prospering enigmatic young star one day and then suddenly be lost in the shuffle the very next day. That is exactly what has happened to former Toronto Blue Jays top prospect Orelvis Martinez.
On Thursday, Martinez was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays as Toronto needed a spot on the 40-man roster to activate pitcher Alek Manoah from the 60-day injured list. Manoah was subsequently assigned to the Jays’ Triple-A affiliate Buffalo following the move.
