Blue Jays prospects acquired at the 2024 deadline dominate in Thursday's minor league action

Charles McAdoo drove in three runs for Triple-A Buffalo, going 1-for with a single and his sixth double in a 12-8 loss to Syracuse. Through his first 45 Triple-A games, he hit seven home runs with a .259/.369/.443 slash line and a 117 wRC+. His strikeout rate dropped to 20.3% while his walk rate was 14.4%. He also played second base for the first time this season and only the second time since joining the organization in 2024, totaling 83 professional innings at the position. Other traded prospects contributed extra-base hits, including RJ Schreck’s ninth double and Jonatan Clase’s second home run.

"On Thursday, the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons fell 12-8 to the Syracuse Mets. However, McAdoo drove in three runs thanks to a single and his sixth double of the season. Through his first 45 games at the Triple-A level, the third baseman is slashing .259/.369/.443 with seven home runs in 187 plate appearances for a 117 wRC+. McAdoo has also dropped his strikeout rate considerably (20.3%), while maintaining a 14.4 BB%."

"More importantly, McAdoo slotted in at the keystone for the first time this season, and just the second time he's played at the position since joining the organization in 2024. In his professional career, McAdoo has played 83 innings at the position. One has to presume that this is a move to improve McAdoo's versatility, as he played some first base on top of his regular duties at the hot corner."

"McAdoo was one of three players the Blue Jays acquired at the 2024 trade deadline who had an extra-base hit in this game. Outfielder RJ Schreck was 2-3 with two walks and his ninth double of the season. Schreck was acquired for Justin Turner from the Seattle Mariners."

"Also acquired from the Mariners was Jonatan Clase, who was one of two players acquired in the Yimi García trade. Clase hit his second home run of the season, with Riley Tirotta hitting the Bisons' other extra-base hit, a double. The other player acquired in the García trade, Jacob Sharp, hit his fourth home run of the season in the Vancouver Canadians' 9-4 loss to Spokane, as well as a single."
