They will likely bring a long, ugly losing streak into the Dome on Monday, only to sweep the Jays in a painful and convincing fashion, once again.

For the prospect watchers, 19 year old SS Orelvis Martinez was promoted to high A after leading all of low A ball with 19 homers.
He has the most home runs of any teenager in all of minor league baseball and the 2nd most RBIs in all of minor league baseball.
And yesterday he hit his 20th homer in his first game at high A.
Might be a keeper.

Signed out of the Dominican Republic for $3.5 million on July 2, 2018, Martinez received the second-largest bonus of any prospect in that year’s international class. Martinez was ranked as the No. 6 prospect in that class by MLB Pipeline with some scouts who saw the young infielder as an amateur comparing his profile to that of Adrian Beltre, given his powerful bat and strong arm from the left side of the infield. Martinez lived up to expectations in his professional debut in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League, hitting .275 with a .352 on-base percentage and .907 OPS with seven home runs over 40 games.
Spending time at the Blue Jays’ alternate training site in 2020, Martinez impressed Blue Jays staffers with his willingness and ability to battle against pitchers far older and more advanced than him. With a power tool as strong as any prospect in the Blue Jays system, Martinez should light up the exit velocity numbers as he climbs the ladder through the Minor Leagues. With a plus hit tool to go along with that, Martinez will need to continue to mature his plate approach so that his potentially game-changing bat can shine.

This seemed to get lost in the shuffle of Jays news:

The New York Yankees have claimed outfielder Jonathan Davis off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays, the club announced Tuesday.

Just wanted to add that he was very well liked within the Jays clubhouse and had been a part of the Jays system since the 2013 draft and was one of the longest serving current Jays in terms of total time within the franchise. His bat never really translated to the MLB level but his CF defense is incredible. Wishing him the best in the Yankees system.

I wish they'd send Valera down and get Kevin Smith up. I want to see what he's got to offer. He's killing it at AAA

They would have to add him to the 40 man roster, I don't know who they would remove to do it.

He was part of the Adam Cimber deal with Miami. (Joe Panik going the other way )

We got him with Cimber. Effectively Miami gave us Cimber for free to Pay Dickerson for the year. Now he's healthy and actually playing for us ! Double win

Springer 3-3 with a homer, double, and Single. And it's only the 3rd inning.
