MacLean delivered consecutive seasons at .300 or better, hitting .321 in 2022 and .300 last year. A career .308 hitter (103-for-334), MacLean brings 12 home runs, 16 doubles and 65 RBI to the Bluejays.
Primeaux has thrown a combined 234 innings, including 168 over the last two seasons. He has a combined 3.35 ERA, including a 2.13 ERA mark last season. In 2023, he was 8-0 with 75 strikeouts in 84.1 frames. The Louisiana native has 217 career strikeouts with a career mark of 20-10 and 16 saves.
