The Toronto Blue Jays released 24-year-old outfielder Matt Scannell from their High-A affiliate, the Vancouver Canadians, Forbes reported. Scannell signed with the Blue Jays less than one year before the June 28, 2026, transaction. He previously played at Princeton University and later at Wake Forest University.
Princeton University head baseball coach Scott Bradley said last summer that the signing was thrilling. "In addition to his great leadership, he did everything for us at Princeton, and we can't wait to see what he does at the next level," Bradley stated. Forbes reported that releases at the High-A level remain common as organizations adjust minor-league rosters.
Scannell is now a free agent.
