As the Blue Jays look to their 2018 season, one of the biggest priorities is upgrading the middle infield depth in the organization. In 2017 the Blue Jays only had 116 games played between their starters, Troy Tulowitzki and Devon Travis, which resulted in Ryan Goins and Darwin Barney playing nearly full time throughout the year.
While they both contributed admirable efforts, the Blue Jays were in desperate need of a greater offensive contribution. It’s expected that Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins will pursue upgrades for the position, and there are several options on the MLB free agency market.
