Notoriously known for being in the Mookie Betts to Los Angeles deal, Jeter Downs could never figure it out in Boston. Combining the cancelled minor league season in 2020 with him being rushed to the majors in 2022, many Boston fans criticized the front office for rushing him in his development process. With former top prospect status, I am excited to watch Jeter Downs in spring training and beyond with the Nats. He should start in the minors, but if he is able to show off the skills that made him a top prospect in the first place, he could end up becoming one amazing addition by Mike Rizzo.
