It was interesting that he seemed to think that non-qualifying offer free agents or perhaps select non-top-tier trade options are the more likely avenues. Freddy Peralta is a hot commodity and has been covered a decent bit, but Jose Berrios is an off-the-beaten-path option that might be up Alex Anthopoulos' alley and has an interesting profile. Berrios has struggled since joining Toronto, but was previously a reliable mid-rotation option in Minnesota.

The Roberto Clemente Award is presented annually to a player who best represents the sport through character, philanthropy and positive contributions, both on and off the field. Berrios is the ideal candidate. The late Clemente, who was born in Carolina, Peurto Rico, has been an inspiration for Berrios from the get-go. He not only looked up to Clemente as a child for his on-field performances, but he also admired him for the way he gave back to Puerto Rico.
