Specifically, I speak of the latest rumour sprouted by Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal that the Jays have taken an interest in aging super-utility man Kelly Johnson.
The obvious and simple conclusion here is that the club doesn’t want to get caught with their proverbial pants down in a very real potential scenario whereby we are absent two second basemen – 1 because of a nagging injury, the other due to the risk of being grabbed by another club while trying to pass through waivers.
That’s really just the start of issues that could arise, though.
