## Resource

Josh Smith’s trade to the Blue Jays might’ve flown under the radar at first, but he’s quietly become a game-changer. Hitting .275 with a slugging over .650 and five homers in just 20 games, Smith is delivering exactly what Toronto’s lineup desperately needs—power and clutch offense. Even with limited starts, his recent hot streak (.333/.933 in seven games) proves he’s locked in. With the Jays in playoff contention and pitching thin, Smith’s bat is now essential, especially against right-handed starters. This move? One of their best of the season.
