Blue Jays: Look for Yangervis Solarte to be dealt in the offseason

The Blue Jays acquired Yangervis Solarte this past offseason from the San Diego Padres in exchange for minor leaguers Jared Carkuff and Edward Olivares. The 30-year old can play multiple positions and is relatively affordable next season if the Jays pick up his $5.5 million dollar team option.

However, Solarte and his carefree demeanor grew tiresome as he routinely fails to hustle out of the box and has hit into 21 double plays this season as a result. Solarte is a pair of twin killings away from the league lead.

Coupling the above issue is the fact the Jays currently have a plethora of younger, cheaper options who can also play the infield.
