The Toronto Blue Jays were big players at the trade deadline this year, acquiring starter Jose Berrios from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for top prospects Austin Martin and Simeon Woods-Richardson.
For many fans who follow the Blue Jay farm system, this seemed like a massive overpay when compared to similar deadline deals like Joey Gallo to the New York Yankees and Max Scherzer/Trea Turner to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Fans were pretty happy to add Martin to the organization considering not many thought he would be available for the club during last year’s draft and Woods-Richardson had a great start to the season after being a focal point of the Marcus Stroman trade back in 2019.
