Looking at Davis Schneider

Schneider, 27, has slashed .142/.295/.274 with three home runs and 112 RBi over 62 games with the Blue Jays this season.

In the minors, the utlityman has hit .220/.450/.460 with 10 home runs and 29 RBI across 52 games this year.

The Blue Jays selected Schneider in the 28th round of the 2017 MLB Draft out of high school.

Last year, Schneider posted 1.3 bWAR and a .797 OPS over 82 games with Toronto. He hit .200/.333/.400 with a home run and a double over 24 postseason plate appearances during the Blue Jays’ World Series run.

Looking at Brendan Cellucci

Cellucci hasn’t made his MLB debut yet. The 28-year-old southpaw has recorded a 3.16 ERA with 55 strikeouts over 51 1/3 innings with Triple-A Buffalo this season.

The Boston Red Sox drafted Cellucci in the 12th round in 2019 out of Tulane. He spent his entire professional career in the Red Sox organization until this past offseason. He signed a minor-league contract with Toronto over the winter.
