The Toronto Blue Jays have promoted Marc Tramuta to director of amateur scouting, a critical role as the team prepares for an important draft. Tramuta, who joined the Jays last year, previously worked with the New York Mets and has scouting experience with both the Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles.

The Jays currently hold the fifth-best odds in the draft lottery, with a 7.48% chance of securing the top pick. This comes after a series of drafts that have left the team's farm system ranked poorly.
