Donaldson trailed Kansas City's Mike Moustakas by more than 1.6 million votes two weeks ago, but that gap has been narrowed to approximately 33,000. With less than two weeks to go in the voting process, the starting job at third base is very much up for grabs.
The 29-year-old Donaldson is looking to become the first Blue Jays third baseman and the fourth Toronto infielder to win a fan election, joining second baseman Roberto Alomar (1991-94), first baseman John Olerud (1993) and first baseman Carlos Delgado (2003).
Donaldson has received plenty of support in recent weeks with players across the league and even some celebrities speaking out in his favour.
