The Blue Jays just pulled off a savvy move by trading for 24-year-old center fielder Brett Bateman — a speedster with elite contact skills and solid defense, not a power hitter. With Daulton Varsho gone, Bateman’s role is clear: he won’t hit homers, but his base-running and plate discipline could add value in unexpected ways. The team’s giving him a real shot to prove himself, while also weighing whether to lock him into their 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 Draft. This season is all about seeing if Bateman can make the leap — and earn his spot for good.
