Loures Gurriel Jr. has been utilized primarily as either a shortstop or second baseman since signing with the Blue Jays in 2016. However the 24-year old moonlighted as a left-fielder in 40 games for the Industriales de La Habana of the Cuban National Series during the 2015/16 campaign.
Gurriel played 307 innings in the outfield that season making one error with three assists in 59 chances. With the plethora of infielders currently on the roster, a move to the outfield could make sense and ensure Gurriel’s bat remains in the lineup on a day to day basis.
Along with Gurriel, the Jays have Aledmys Diaz, Devon Travis, Yangervis Solarte, Brandon Drury and Richard Urena in the fold for 2019.
