There are a lot of variables at play with the infield for the Blue Jays next season, and likely none bigger than what will happen with Josh Donaldson. The “Bringer of Rain” is not going to get the massive free agent contract we all thought he would a few years ago, and might even have to “settle” for the qualifying offer from the Blue Jays, depending on how he finishes out this season, and how he and his agent evaluate the market.
If he returns and he’s healthy, Donaldson is your starting third baseman to begin the year.
