Fantasy Impact
Alford is former top prospect for the Blue Jays who has struggled throughout his four-year career. He is slashing .188/.188/.375 with one home run, three RBI, three runs and three stolen bases across 16 plate appearances in 2020. With a change scenery to Pittsburgh, Alford could see everyday at-bats and prove to be a fantasy asset.
