Blue Jays free agency: Exploring the “other” 1B/DH available

The Toronto Blue Jays can still use a little help at first base. Edwin Encarnacion would be nice, of course, and the Blue Jays have reportedly shown interest in Mike Napoli recently. Given the needs elsewhere on the Blue Jays roster and the robust market for top-tier bats, however, it’s likely that Toronto aim a little lower if this position is addressed again.

A reserve bat or starting first baseman to push Smoak to the bench would add value to the lineup still. Chris Colabello will have his shot, though a PED suspension and his subsequent struggles in 2016 do little to help his chances.
