runs, and 28 RBIs. Paul Boye wrote, "The fact of the matter boils down to this: Ben Revere is the best option in center field for this team, given both internal and external options at this point." On October 1, 2014, Revere underwent right ankle surgery to remove two screws. After having played center field exclusively during his first two years with the Phillies, Revere spent some time in left field during spring training in 2015 while Odubel Herrera played in center; manager Ryne Sandberg noted that Revere's arm may fit better in left field. In 96 games with the Phillies, Revere batted .298 with 24 stolen bases, 1 home run, and 26 RBI. Toronto Blue Jays On July 31, 2015, Revere was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays for Alberto Tirado and Jimmy Cordero. Revere struggled early in his tenure with the Blue Jays, going hitless in his first 13 at-bats. He would return to form for the remainder of August, making several highlight-reel catches in left field and extending a hit streak to 9 games on August 29. During those 9 games, Revere batted .514. He played in 56 games for the Blue Jays in the 2015 regular season, and batted .319 with 1 home run, 19 RBI, and 7 stolen bases. He played 152 total games in 2015 with a .306 batting average, 2 home runs, 31 stolen bases, and 45 RBI. With the Blue Jays finishing the season 93–69, the team clinched the AL-East pennant for their first postseason berth in 22 years. During Game 6 of the 2015 ALCS against the Kansas City Royals, Revere was involved in controversy where Jeff Nelson called a strike on a pitch that was up and outside on a 2–1 count. The very next pitch, Revere struck out swinging. He attacked a garbage can with his bat in frustration in the dugout, and the Blue Jays would end up losing the game 3–4, eliminating them from further postseason contention. In 11 postseason games, Revere batted .256 with 2 stolen bases. Washington Nationals On January 8, 2016, Revere and a player to be named later were traded to the Washington Nationals in exchange for Drew Storen and cash considerations. Revere was placed on the 15-day disabled list on April 6 after suffering a strained right oblique in the season opener on April 4. He batted .217/.260/.300 for the 2016 season.
