Charles McAdoo
With the strong season that Isiah Kiner-Falefa had with Toronto, the Jays managed to capitalize on that. They converted him into top prospect Charles McAdoo via a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates at the trade deadline. The fact that McAdoo already ranks eighth among the Jays’ top prospects speaks volumes about his potential. Since joining the Fisher Cats, McAdoo has put up a .273 average, .963 OPS with 9 runs scored, 3 home runs, 9 RBI and 4 stolen bases in just 13 games to date. For the season, he has hit .310 with a strong .936 OPS, together with 62 runs scored, 24 doubles, 5 triples, 17 home runs, 72 RBI and 21 stolen bases in 100 games played. .With the ability to play effectively both in the infield and outfield as well, he could end up seeing the majors sooner than expected.
Jay Harry
Finally, the Jays received utility infielder Jay Harry from Minnesota as part of the trade that sent Trevor Richards to the Twins. After putting together a fine minor league season in 2023, Harry has struggled to some extent after his promotion to High-A in 2024. He was hitting just .214 with a .655 OPS with 8 home runs and 39 RBI in 82 games with the Twins’ High-A affiliate Cedar Rapids. Although things have gotten a little better for Harry since joining the Canadians, as he has posted a respectable .244 average with a .774 OPS, along with 7 runs scored, 3 doubles, 2 home runs and 4 RBI in 11 games. More importantly, his versatility in being able to play multiple infield positions could ultimately give him an inside track to the big leagues down the road.
