Addison Barger Poised for Key Outfield Role with Blue Jays

Blue Jays outfielder Addison Barger, 26, is considered a priority for the team's outfield, projected as the right fielder of the future and present after a strong rookie season. With multiple years of control, he may also see time at third base. While he struggled against left-handed pitching in 2025, he showed promise against them in the minors, and the team aims to shelter him from top lefties as he develops.
