Alex Verdugo could make another stop in the AL East, following up on his stints with the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees by signing with the Toronto Blue Jays.
Verdugo, 28, is coming off the least productive season of his big league career so far. In 149 regular season games with the New York Yankees, Verdugo hit .233 with 13 home runs, 62 RBI, a .647 OPS and a 0.8 WAR. He then hit .208 with a .622 OPS this postseason, appearing in all 14 of New York's contests from the ALDS through the World Series.
Verdugo hit .289 with a .778 OPS between 2019 and 2022, averaging 15 home runs, 69 RBI, five stolen bases and a 3.0 WAR per 162 games in that span. Another stop in the AL East could be in Verdugo's future, depending on how things shake out with the Blue Jays elsewhere on the open market.
