Last season, the Toronto Blue Jays dealt Isiah Kiner-Falefa to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Charles McAdoo in their mini one year rebuild. Quickly enough, things just looked like a "meh" trade as both players struggled in their new organizations. While Kiner-Falefa is once again a trade deadline target, McAdoo has finally begun to turn things around, making this look like a trade victory.
McAdoo came to the organization on fire. He had 14 home runs and an outstanding .906 OPS. He also had a strikeout percentage of 22.6% and walked 10.7% of the time.
