In the playoffs, TeoscarHernandez hit his final home runs for the BlueJays, against the SeattleMariners. There is a 0:22
As they try to catch the World Series champion Houston Astros, the SeattleMariners fortified their lineup with the acquisition of TeoscarHernandez from the Toronto BlueJays.
A 10-9 wild-card series loss to the SeattleMariners was the most glaring example of the BlueJays' shaky relief last season.
He hit two home runs in that game and is a two-time Silver Slugger winner. He hit 25 home runs and 77 runs in 131 games last season and should play right field next to the American League's rookies of the year.
Teoscar Hernandez's first full season with the Blue Jays was in 2018. Since the start of that season, he has the most home runs (121), RBIs (349), hits (561) and runs (321) of any Blue Jays player over that span.
Statistics and information from the ABC sports network.
The quality of his play is more important than his contract status in Toronto's willingness to trade him. He is due to become a free agent after the 2023 season and is expected to make over 14 million dollars. Sources said that the BlueJays plan to acquire an outfielder this winter.
One arm is expected to help the bullpen this year and the other is a high-end starter.
In his first season as a starter, the 29-year-old put up a 1.68 earned run with 70 strikeouts. With a four-seam fastball that has near-perfect backspin and a split-fingered fastball that developed into a strikeout weapon this year, Swanson was a vital part of the Seattle's relief corps.
Macko, who turns 22 in December, struck out 60 over 3813 in High-A this year and has a mid-90s fastball and a pair of breaking balls. He graduated from high school in a small town in Canada in the year 2019. He was drafted in the seventh round.
If he signs elsewhere, Seattle would receive a draft choice around the 75th pick, with a slot value of around $850,000, if they tender him a Qualifying Offer.
