Blue Jays' Charles McAdoo: Strong second half for Fisher Cats
Rotowire
McAdoo is slashing .278/.359/.498 with 13 home runs, 20 steals and a 26.1 percent strikeout rate in his last 67 games for Double-A New Hampshire.
The 23-year-old corner infielder had a .550 OPS over his first 48 games this year for the Fisher Cats, so it's been a tale of two seasons for McAdoo. A third baseman by trade, McAdoo saw more time at first base (11 starts) than he had in previous seasons, so he'll have to at least produce enough offense to make up for poor defense at third base or a move to first base. He's up to 179 career games at Double-A, so the righty-hitting McAdoo should head to Triple-A for the start of the 2026 season.

The Blue Jays acquired McAdoo from the Pirates on Tuesday in exchange for infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa (knee), Russell Dorsey of Yahoo Sports reports.
The Pirates sold high on McAdoo, as he was one of the top breakout hitters over the first four months of the minor-league season. He slashed .317/.394/.542 with 14 home runs, 17 steals and a 22.8 percent strikeout rate in 87 games across High-A and Double-A as a 22-year-old. McAdoo has big-time bat speed, but he's a better fantasy prospect than a real-life one, as his defensive home is still in question. He has shown good hands at third base this season, but could also end up at a corner-outfield spot if he loses any mobility.
