Ben Nicholson-Smith

He has eight home runs at AAA.

He's stolen six bases, strikeouts 40, walks 28.

So he's doing a good job of controlling the strike zone, again, against AAA competition.

But this is someone with some power, some strike zone judgment.

A little bit of base running ability there, too.

And he can play a little bit of first base, third base.

He's been playing some second base.

So you do get some versatility there.

Right-handed bat.

So those are some of the key things that you would want to know about Charles McAdoo.

Now, I want to get to where he fits on this roster and who...

I will replace on this roster, of course, but also just want to note that very interesting to see the 2024 trade deadline now just coming back full circle and impacting the roster for the Blue Jays because McAdoo was acquired for IKF at the trade deadline when the Blue Jays took over.

traded ikf away before he came back um so that was one of those pickups they also ended up getting uh joey loperfito for use a kikuchi then loperfito became jesus sanchez who also had a huge huge game uh this week and then they traded nate pearson away to the chicago cubs get johendrick pinango back in that trade so quietly i mean it was a very dark dismal time for the blue jays uh that that 2024 summer it was such a disappointing year

But looking back at it, we can now say that they did get back some players who are now helping them and attempting to help them at the major leagues.

Yep, I think that makes a ton of sense.

Definitely not anticipating superstars out of this group, but should also add, in that Yusei Kikuchi trade, they got Will Wagner.

Will Wagner later became Brandon Valenzuela.

So that's a helpful player.

And Justin Turner was traded away.

They got RJ Schreck, an outfielder who probably will play in the major leagues at some point.
