Let me first say that Yangervis Solarte is an excellent defensive third baseman and that could make Josh Donaldson expendable. Though I personally am in favor of trading Josh Donaldson, especially now, I don’t see that happening. Solarte is here to provide depth behind oft-injured Travis and Troy Tulowitzki. Given the affordable nature of his contract, Solarte can end the discussion on how to make the Blue Jays infield better. While it is expected that Solarte will be a bench bat and super utility player, he can be a very capable replacement for Travis at second.
