Blue Jays: Looking at former prospects traded at the deadline under Ross Atkins

J.J. D’Orazio – C
Traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks as part of the package for RHP Joakim Soria – July/29/2021
A product of Maracay, Venezuela, catcher J.J. D’Orazio signed with the Jays in mid-2018 and made his professional debut in the Dominican Summer League the next year. After 13 games, the Jays moved him stateside to the Gulf Coast Rookie League, hitting to a .549 OPS with 11 RBI.
He split the 2021 campaign between Rookie League and Class A before being sent to the Arizona Diamondbacks, who then moved him back down to Rookie League ball to finish out the year. D’Orzaio has spent all season in Class-A ball and has amassed a .262/.363/.369 slash line with one home run, 17 RBI, and 26 walks with a .732 OPS. Behind the plate, he has thrown out 19% of base stealers with a .985 fielding percentage.
Yaifer Perdomo – LHP
Traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks as part of the package for RHP Joakim Soria – July/29/2021
Also hailing from Maracay, Venezuela, left-hander Yaifer Perdomo was traded alongside D’Orazio at the 2021 trade deadline for reliever Joakim Soria.
Before being traded, Perdomo started off the 2021 campaign strong in the Florida Complex League, owning a 2.45 ERA through 33.0 innings before struggling in Single-A split between both the Jays and Diamondbacks organizations through just eight combined innings.
Heading back to Single-A this season, Perdomo is struggling to keep runs off the board to the tune of 39 earned runs through 14 starts and 48.1 innings, striking out batters at a 12.3 K/9 with a 7.26 ERA.
