Former Blue Jays Tim Mayza and Kevin Kiermaier seem to be doing surprisingly well

Kevin Kiermaier, 34, is retiring at season's end and is getting one last shot at a World Series ring before he hangs it up. He's one of the best defensive center fielders the game has ever seen and was only just traded to the Dodgers at this year's deadline. This year, he's hitting a combined .197 with just five home runs and a 56 OPS+ through 116 games. The Dodgers keep him around strictly for his defensive prowess in center field. -treuden

At the time of his release and eventual signing with the Yankees, Tim Mayza was the longest-tenured member of the Blue Jays' roster. The left-hander was as durable and reliable as they come through the vast majority of his time on the Jays, but this year the wheels completely fell off. With the Jays feeling like they could turn things around before the end of the year, they cut him rather than give him more time to figure things out. He went on to make 15 regular-season outings for the Yankees, posting a 4.00 ERA in 18 innings which is much better than the 8.03 mark he had in 24.2 innings for the Jays. -treuden
