The Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins has done a lot of things poorly over the last few years but it seems like letting go of under performing players is not one of them.
Out of 9 former Blue Jays players around the league this season, there are only 2, Kevin Pillar and Teo Hernandez, that have an OPS of over .800.
Checking on our exes
Biggio (.509 OPS with LAD)
Espinal (.572 OPS)
Merrifield (.572 OPS)
Pillar (.899 OPS)
Chapman (.686 OPS)
Gurriel (.685 OPS)
Moreno (.632 OPS)
Lopez (.659 OPS)
Teo (.825 OPS)
Biggio was clearly a solid trade as he has been playing extremely poorly for the Dodgers with a .509 OPS while the 6 other players on this list do not have an OPS over .700.
While OPS is far from the only statistic that matters, it does show how well a player is doing at the plate overall.
