SALT LAKE CITY The Salt Lake Bees haven t played a game in over 600 days but there will be some familiar faces when the team trots out onto the field Thursday.
The team on Monday announced its 2021 Opening Day lineup. Among the names: former Angels top prospect Jo Adell, MLB veteran Jon Jay and Utah native and BYU alumnus Brennon Lund.
Adell was previously the Angels top prospect and a Top 10 overall minor league prospect, according to MiLB Pipeline, until he graduated from the list in 2020. Baseball America still lists him as the No. 11 overall prospect in the game.
The 22-year-old outfielder hit .161 with three home runs and seven RBIs in 38 games last season, which was his first in the majors. He also hit .264 with eight RBIs is 27 games with the Bees in 2019.
