Canadian native was once a highly regarded prospect in the Blue Jays system
The Blue Jays selected the Oakville, Ontario native out of Abbey Park High School in the third round, as he was the first Canadian to go off the board at that year's draft.
Brown had a strong abbreviated debut, slashing .222/.444/.356 in the 14 games he played after the draft.
The outfielder began 2025 with the Fisher Cats, slashing just .175/.286/.249 with three home runs in 276 plate appearances, as his K% jumped above 30% once again.

Brown struggled upon his first foray into the upper-minors, posting a 72 wRC+ in 119 plate appearances with the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats.
Out of nowhere, Brown was promoted to Triple-A toward the end of the season, but didn't do much better in his 15 games with the Buffalo Bisons, receiving just 15 plate appearances. That said, he did hit a home run.

Brown wasn't the only notable prospect to enter free agency. Gabriel Martinez was once a top 10 Blue Jays prospect, but he, Alex De Jesus, Eddinson Paulino, Andrew Bash, and Phil Clarke all remain as free agents.
It's not impossible to see a pathway to the big leagues for Brown, given that he has terrific speed and is a good defensive outfielder.
He has shown glimpses of success with the bat, but was never able to figure it out in the Blue Jays' system.
