With other suitors prepared to offer more, Semien looked elsewhere and eventually settled on the Blue Jays’ one-year deal worth $18 million. “I really remember Donaldson and Cespedes coming back,” Semien said. The Jays hope they are witnessing a similar turnaround after Semien flashed power early this season and not much else. “It’s a new month, it’s a fresh start,” said Semien, who entered the series opener batting .220. If Semien finds a similar spark, it will go a long way in making him forget all about that ugly April.
