It wasn’t too long ago that the Toronto Blue Jays and their fans were quite concerned with regards to the outfield depth in the organization. Just a couple of seasons ago, it felt like there wasn’t any other clear-cut options that could be sustainable in the long term behind star outfielder George Springer. Daulton Varsho was playing out-of-this-world defense, but his production was lacking at the plate.
Same could be said for defensive specialist Kevin Kiermaier, while utilitymen such as Cavan Biggio and Davis Schneider were struggling to find their footing at the plate as well. As a result, all the Jays had hopes for was that top outfield prospect Alan Roden could turn into something.
