Mallex Smith has re-signed with the Kansas City Monarchs of the independent American Association.

2 years ago

Smith hasn't appeared in the majors since the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign when he got into 14 contests for the Mariners. The 29-year-old speedster led the majors with 46 stolen bases during the 2019 season. He signed a minor league contract last offseason with the Blue Jays, but wound up being released in early June after playing just 25 games at Triple-A Buffalo. He would make sense as a pinch-running specialist in the postseason on a contender, but that's about it at this stage of his career.

Smith inked a minor league contract with the Blue Jays back in November and was hitting .195/.319/.208 with 11 stolen bases across 91 plate appearances this season at Triple-A Buffalo. The 29-year-old speedster would make sense for a contending team as a late-inning pinch-running specialist.

Smith was actually acquired from the Reds in August before finishing the 2021 season in the Jays' minor league system. The 28-year-old offers speed and defense, but has appeared in just 14 games at the major league level since the start of 2020.

Smith was signed by the Reds on June 22. The outfielder hit .231/.296/.292 in seven plate appearances for Triple-A Louisville, and the speedy left-handed hitter stole four bases in six chances. He provides some depth for Toronto for the remainder of the season.
