TORONTO – Impressive Calgary right-hander Mike Soroka nearly got to the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2015 draft, and former general manager Alex Anthopoulos won’t say whether or not they would have taken him at No. 29 over Jon Harris had he been available.
What he will reveal is that the Atlanta Braves, owners of the 28th pick, “were concerned with the Jays selecting him because we were right behind and the Canadian component there,” said Anthopoulos.
“The good news when you’re here is he goes ahead of you, so you don’t feel as bad (about missing out), but I looked at a lot of old scouting reports, the Braves did an outstanding job.”
