For those of us who remember the final days of spring training 2017, you’ll recall that the Blue Jays had to make a decision between Ryan Goins and Melvin Upton for the last spot on the 25 man roster. The Blue Jays ultimately decided to keep Goins and set Upton loose, which proved to be a wise decision in a year that Goins ultimately had to play 143 games to cover for injuries to Troy Tulowitzki and Devon Travis.
The roster has changed a fair bit this offseason, but a similar situation could be developing where the Blue Jays will have to decide between either an extra infielder, or outfielder.
