With Justin Smoak a free agent and Rowdy Tellez is coming off a rookie season that isn't particularly encouraging, it's clear that first base is a major hole for the Toronto Blue Jays. Free agency is a valid route, but so too is the trade market where there are some interesting bats floating around who could be a major upgrade for the Blue Jays' lineup.

The 29-year-old right-hander was always considered the most likely player to accept his qualifying offer, as it seemed unlikely that he'd receive an offer close in terms of average annual value from another club; especially with draft-pick compensation tied to him and the plethora of elite options on the market this offseason. He recorded a pristine 3.51 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 178/53 K/BB ratio across 30 starts (159 innings) this past season.

The report Tuesday quoted pitcher Mike Fiers, who played for the Astros that season, and three other unidentified people with the club. The Astros won the World Series that year — two sources told The Athletic that Houston used the system into the playoffs while another source said the system ended before the postseason.

Fans often bring up Michael Jordan's baseball statistics as a way of mocking him. In 1993 at the peak of his powers as the greatest NBA player of his time (and, perhaps, of all-time), Jordan retired and signed with the Chicago White Sox organization. Placed in Double-A Birmingham, Jordan batted .202 with three homers, 51 RBIs, 30 steals (in 48 attempts) and a .556 OPS. Continue to Article
