Alan Roden and Myles Straw are making significant strides in their quest for a spot on the Toronto Blue Jays' roster. Roden, who is hitting .409 this spring with two home runs, stands out as a top prospect, while Straw, acquired from Cleveland, boasts an impressive .462 average. Their performances have created a competitive atmosphere for the fourth outfielder position, especially with uncertainty around Daulton Varsho's recovery from shoulder surgery.

Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins has highlighted Roden's ability and potential, mentioning the pressure he's placing on him to succeed. This spring, Roden has demonstrated solid range and contact, aiming to build on his minor league success. Straw, known for his speed and defensive skills, adds versatility, making him an intriguing asset as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
