Blue Jays: Get to know prospect Samad Taylor
The Toronto Blue Jays traded reliever Joe Smith to the Cleveland Indians at the 2017 trade deadline. He was one of the few trade chips on a 1-year deal who could net a nice return at the time. The Blue Jays front office obviously knows the Indians system quite well, and they were able to snag pitcher Thomas Pannone who they’re quite high on.
However, there was another prospect in the trade that came to the Blue Jays and that is 2nd baseman Samad Taylor, who some are very high on as a hidden gem in the Blue Jays system.
