Blue Jays: Using Keon Broxton as a comparison for Kevin Pillar
Keon Broxton, who was recently traded to the New York Mets, could serve as somewhat of a comparable asset to the Blue Jays’ own Kevin Pillar, who might be on the trade block this winter.
In a deal that seemed to come together almost instantaneously, the New York Mets acquired outfielder Keon Broxton from the Milwaukee Brewers in an effort to shore up their outfield depth ahead of their puzzlingly middling 2019 season.
Though Broxton is by no means the acquisition of the offseason, he could add some value to a Mets team that has a confusing outfield picture on their hands. Broxton, who is a controllable, semi-predictable asset, is one of the most impressive defensive outfielders in the game.
