Known league-wide as one of the nicest guys in baseball, Curtis Granderson was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers Friday in a deal that was officially announced less than an hour before the August 31 waiver trade deadline. In return, the Blue Jays received Demi Orimoloye (born Oluwademilade Oluwadamilola Orimoloye), a 21-year-old Nigerian-Canadian outfielder who was drafted by the Brewers in the fourth round of the 2015 draft.
Orimoloye, who was drafted in the same round as St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong (and a round ahead of top Yankees pitching prospect Chance Adams) has only appeared at Single-A levels this year, evenly splitting his time between High-A Carolina and Class-A Wisconsin.
