Blue Jays: A very healthy competition brewing in the outfield

Remember when the Blue Jays were starting guys like Socrates Brito and Allen Hanson in the outfield earlier in the season? At the time it felt like the Blue Jays didn’t have a single outfielder worthy of being a full-time starter in the big leagues, let alone three.

Fast forward a few months, and now there is quite a good competition brewing in the Blue Jays’ outfield. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has established himself in left field after starting the season as an infielder, and he’s not going anywhere. You can pretty much lock that down for the foreseeable future.
