Blue Jays land two contact-oriented prospects in Gausman deal
Toronto acquires INF Ty Southisene and OF Brett Bateman, both known for on-base skills and speed rather than power.
The Kevin Gausman trade sends two minor-league prospects to the Blue Jays: infielder Ty Southisene and outfielder Brett Bateman. Southisene has not hit a home run in 156 career minor-league games but has posted an OBP above .400 and stolen 72 bases. Bateman also fits a contact-and-on-base profile. Beat reporter Keegan Matheson describes Southisene as a spark-plug type with a unique skill set.
