The Blue Jays are on the cusp of a fire sale that could commence any day now having recently shipped soon to be free agent Steve Pearce to the Boston Red Sox for a minor leaguer. Blue Jays manager reiterated yesterday that he intends on playing rookie Lourdes Gurriel Jr. regularly between shortstop and second base. The skipper even mentioned moving shortstop Aledmys Diaz to third base on days where Gurriel draws in at short.
The International free agent signing is hitting .225/.244/.388 with four homers and 11 runs batted in throughout 23 games this season.
