Travis

Snider

The former top prospect hadn’t played in the majors since way back in 2015 and struggled to a .174 batting average and .610 OPS over 63 games (167 plate appearances) last summer with the Triple-A affiliate of the Braves. Set to turn 34 years old early next month, Snider finishes with 435 total hits, 54 home runs, and a career .244/.311/.399 slash line in parts of eight seasons at the sport’s highest level.

Snider had been at Triple-A Gwinnett, where he posted just a .610 OPS over 63 games. The 33-year-old hasn’t seen any action in the majors since 2015 and the odds are against him ever making it back.

The deal doesn’t include an invite to major league camp. Snider turned 33 earlier this month and hasn’t played in the majors since 2015. He’s strictly organizational depth at this point in his career.

He will be added to their 60-man player pool. Snider hasn’t played in the majors since 2015.

Arizona re-signed Snider to a minor league deal this winter after he posted a strong .294/.402/.497 batting line over 368 plate appearances at Triple-A Reno in 2019. It could be a while before the 32-year-old outfielder gets a look with a new club. He was selected 14th overall by the Blue Jays in the 2006 MLB Draft.

Snider spent the 2019 season with the Diamondbacks’ Triple-A affiliate in Reno, Nevada, and that is likely where he’ll return to open the 2020 campaign. The 31-year-old former top prospect hasn’t appeared in a game at the major league level since back in 2015 with the Pirates.

The former top prospect played for the independent Long Island Ducks in 2018, batting .290/.374/.463 with 13 home runs and 71 RBI over 94 games. Snider, 30, has not appeared in a major league game since the 2015 season.

The 18-year-old Snider is batting .322/.388/.592 with 10 homers in 40 games. It currently looks like the Jays did very well while drafting a high schooler in the first round for the first time since 2000.

One of the top high school hitters available, Snider has tons of left-handed power and may end up in left field or at first base defensively.

Travis Snider had a two-run double in the game. Both left fielders are still performing well, with Thames having hit .320 with a homer and five RBI through 25 at-bats. Snider is at .296 with three homers and 12 RBI in 27 at-bats.
