Toronto Blue Jays fans who may need a break from the MLB postseason will have an opportunity to follow less stressful baseball this month. Eight Toronto Blue Jays prospects are hoping to make their marks on the field as they play in the Arizona Fall League.
The AFL, Major League Baseball's offseason development league for the top prospects from each organization, started play this past week. Each team sends eight prospects to one of the six AFL teams, for a short season that runs until mid-November. Linked up with the Glendale Desert Dogs, the Blue Jays have sent shortstop Josh Kasevich, catcher Edward Duran, infielder Cutter Coffey, left-handed pitcher Kai Peterson and right-handed pitchers Angel Bastardo, Alex Amalfi, Yondrei Rojas, and Chay Yeager.
