With the Berríos trade, the Jays clearly saw something in Austin Martin that they didn’t like…they might have been on to something. This year he has 1 HR in 63 games, is hitting .249, with an OPS of .670.
Prospects flame out regularly. Often their value peaks long before they hit the majors and sometimes it’s best to capitalize on the opportunity when you know they are likely at that peak.
Despite a not so spectacular season for Berríos (it’s been decent), it was still a win.
