The Jays are shipping utility infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa to the Pirates. IKF was a polarizing signing this winter, mostly because we all thought that while he’s a very nice utility infielder he would be stretched as an everyday third baseman on a team intending to compete. He’s exceeded all of our expectations, slashing a career best .292/.338/.420, 12% better than league average, while playing very strong defence.
The Jays are getting 3B Charles McAdoo in return. McAdoo is the Pirates’ #12 prospect on Baseball America’s list. He began this season in A+, where he hit .336/.415/.561 over 60 games. Promoted to AA, he’s slashed .269/.347/.490. McAdoo draws praise for good swing decisions , solid contact ability, and above average bat speed that translates into strong exit velocities.
