Blue Jays: Lourdes Gurriel’s playing time can’t be sacrificed

The Blue Jays added another solid piece to their infield picture this week when they acquired Brandon Drury in exchange for J.A. Happ. The second baseman/third baseman/corner outfielder came along with Billy McKinney in the trade, who heads to Triple-A Buffalo, and is bound to get some semi-regular playing time with his new club.

John Gibbons will have an interesting task in front of him when it comes to integrating Drury into an already crowded picture. The Blue Jays have an infield that features Justin Smoak at first base, and then any combination of Yangervis Solarte, Aledmys Diaz, Devon Travis, and Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
