Former Blue Jays top prospect lands with the Washington Nationals on minor league deal

On Friday, apparently Alek Manoah wasn’t the only former member of the Toronto Blue Jays to make waves in the news in finding a new home. Former Blue Jays top prospect Orelvis Martinez also landed with a new team in the Washington Nationals after electing for free agency following his designation for assignment earlier this month. The Nationals signed Martinez to a minor league deal to prove his worth once again.

The 23-year-old prospect was once viewed as the next big thing coming up from the Blue Jays system due to his enormous power potential.
