Blue Jays: What if Randal Grichuk had been designated for assignment?

It’s really easy to lose your patience with a professional baseball player, especially when they go through a prolonged slump. When there are other, potentially better, options available, it makes it that much more difficult to take.

Such was the situation the Blue Jays were facing early in the season when they had more outfielders than positions on the roster. Before the campaign had even started they were forced to DFA Ezequiel Carrera because of a lack of room on the roster, and Teoscar Hernandez had to start the year in Triple-A Buffalo in order to make everyone fit.
