The Blue Jays are open for business. Already widely expected to be one of baseball’s true “sellers” at the Tuesday's Trade Deadline, the Blue Jays have gotten out in front of the action with a pair of separate deals that sent Yimi García to the Mariners and Nate Pearson to the Cubs.

Here’s a rundown of what you need to know about all of the newest members of the Blue Jays’ system.

Jonatan Clase, OF, Triple-A Buffalo
Pipeline scouting report: Clase has long been touted as the fastest runner in Seattle’s system, and he supported that designation with a historic 2023, when he stole 79 bases in 94 attempts between High-A Everett and Double-A Arkansas to go with 20 homers. He became the first player since records began tracking in 1961 to have a 20-70 season in the Minors. It was perhaps a result of Clase finally being consistently healthy after dealing with multiple injuries, albeit minor and more nagging, in recent years. The obvious question after is: what’s next for the 2018 signee out of the Dominican Republic?

Despite Clase's 5-foot-10 frame, the power appears legitimate, leading to great intrigue on what his overall hit tool will look like when he’s fully developed. Maintaining a sound approach and not selling out for power or getting away from his best abilities will also be vital.

Speed will always be Clase’s calling card, and coupling those wheels with improved route running should allow him to play center field in the Majors as early as 2024. His floor over the next 18-24 months might be in the neighborhood of Taylor Trammell, who hasn’t yet established himself in the Majors but has shown flashes. And his ceiling would be that of an everyday player who might give up a little in the batting average department while making up for it by drawing walks and running into some power as well as playing good defense.

Organizational fit: Clase will start in Triple-A Buffalo, but he should get some run with the Blue Jays down the stretch. Clase fits exactly what the Blue Jays need from this Trade Deadline, in broad terms, as a prospect already close to the big leagues with some legitimate upside remaining.

Coming off a season in which he hit 20 home runs with 79 stolen bases, Clase clearly has a unique set of tools and instantly becomes one of the best athletes in this organization. With Kevin Kiermaier a pending free agent and a candidate to be dealt soon, Clase has a chance to win playing time in left field next season when Daulton Varsho slides to center.

ETA: 2024

Jacob Sharp, C, High-A Vancouver
Organizational fit: While Sharp did not rank in the Mariners’ Top 30 and will not land on the Blue Jays’ list, this is still a nice piece of catching depth for the club to add to its lower levels. Sharp was selected by the Mariners in the 17th round of the 2023 MLB Draft and opened this season in Single-A Modesto, where he hit .255 with six home runs and a .774 OPS over 44 games.

Sharp doesn’t have the traditional catcher’s build -- listed at 5-foot-7, 180 pounds -- but he’s athletic for the position and has worked 18 walks compared to 19 strikeouts in Single-A this season. The Blue Jays earned a reputation for developing catchers through the years of Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk and former No. 1 prospect Gabriel Moreno, who was dealt to the D-backs in the Varsho trade, so adding another project to that pipeline can only be a good thing.

ETA: 2027

Yohendrick Pinango, OF, Double-A New Hampshire
Pipeline scouting report: Signed for $400,000 out of Venezuela in 2018, Pinango debuted the next year and led the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League with 86 hits while placing fourth in the batting race at .358. After the pandemic shutdown, the Cubs jumped him to Single-A shortly before his 19th birthday in 2021. He hadn't shown much power until 2024, when he made some swing changes during his third straight season in High-A. Following a promotion, he performed like an average hitter for Double-A Tennessee before being sent to the Blue Jays in a deal for Pearson.

Pinango has some of the better bat-to-ball skills in the system, but in the past they translated into substandard contact and cut into his walk totals. He's now using a wider stance, loading his hands better and keeping his quick left-handed stroke in the zone longer. He's also making improved swing decisions, helping him to turn on more pitches and hit them harder than before.

With his high baseball IQ, Pinango makes the most of his average speed, arm and outfield range. He can steal an occasional base, but fits best in left field, which puts more demands on his bat. If he can get to 20 or more homers a year he might be a regular, though he profiles more as a fourth outfielder.

Organizational fit: Pinango slides in behind Clase (No. 7) and Alan Roden (No. 8), both outfielders in Triple-A, as the Blue Jays’ next level of outfield depth. This organization hasn’t developed enough true outfielders over the years, so Pinango can add to the quantity approach and projects as a young player who could help this team as early as 2025.

ETA: 2025

Josh Rivera, SS, Double-A New Hampshire
Pipeline scouting report: The highest-ranked member of Florida's 2019 recruiting class to make it to Gainesville, Rivera could have factored in the top five rounds had he been signable. He did little offensively in his first three years with the Gators -- or with wood bats in the Cape Cod League -- but broke out with 19 homers to help Florida reach the College World Series finals in 2022. He proceeded to High-A almost immediately after turning pro as a third-rounder and slashed .250/.320/.402 in 25 games. Rivera was aggressively pushed to Double-A Tennessee for his first full season but struggled (in part due to a low BABIP) before being traded to the Blue Jays.

Rivera developed more patience and hit the ball significantly harder in 2023 than he had previously. He had always displayed a quick right-handed swing and did a better job of keeping it on a plane, allowing him to drive the ball with authority to all fields. He has the upside of a .260 hitter with 15-20 homers per season, but he’ll need to do a better job against upper-level pitching to get there.

Rivera plays quicker than his average speed thanks to his instincts. More steady than spectacular at shortstop, he has average range and solid arm strength. His most likely outcome will be to become an offensive-minded utilityman, and the rebuilding Blue Jays should give him the development time needed to get there.

Organizational fit: Rivera fits the profile of a prospect the Blue Jays would like, and given that he was drafted out of Florida, where the Blue Jays have a great scouting presence, they already know plenty. With the wave of Leo Jiménez, Spencer Horwitz, and Addison Barger all in the big leagues, Rivera can be part of that next wave coming through Triple-A next season.
