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.
