The Dunedin Blue Jays are getting some Canadian flavour.

Oakville, Ont., product Owen Gregg has been promoted to the class-A club after making the most of his two games in the Florida Complex League.

“I got called into the manager’s office and they let me know I was making the jump up to Dunedin,” recalled Gregg. “I was very grateful for this opportunity and the next step in my professional career.”

With the FCL Jays, Gregg collected four hits in six at-bats, including an RBI, a walk and a stolen base. It was a small sample size for the Blue Jays staff, but Gregg made the most of the opportunity and was rewarded with a promotion.

The Canuck also got some preseason action against the Junior National Team during their extended spring training trip in April, belting a home run against a team he used to represent.

“I am excited to compete with guys I played with during Spring Training,” explained Gregg. “I am also looking forward to learning from my teammates and coaching staff with Dunedin, and to just become a better baseball player.”

Gregg was an undrafted free agent signing following the 2024 MLB draft. The Fieldhouse Pirates alum decided to forego his commitment to Utah University and turn pro. The Blue Jays allowed the infielder to play for the Junior National Team that fall at the U-18 Pan American Championship in Panama.

The 2025 season was supposed to be the year Gregg got his feet wet in the pro ranks, but an injury forced him to the sidelines for the entire campaign.

“It’s a great reminder that my hard work throughout the rehab process is paying off,” said Gregg, speaking about his return from injury and the recent promotion. “I learned a lot about myself, and I have been playing every game since the injury with gratitude. It’s such a privilege to be able to play this game at this level, and I remind myself of that every time I step onto the field.”

So far, Gregg has appeared in one game for Dunedin, replacing Addison Barger at third base during yesterday’s contest against the Bradenton Marauders.

Gregg will likely spend the rest of the season in Dunedin. At just 19 years old, thanks to a December birthday, Gregg has a few years to develop in the farm system before he's potentially knocking on the big-league doors. Make no mistake, he will be one Canuck to keep an eye on over the next several years.
