Possibilities for the 2019 Toronto Blue Jays - by Moses

  With all the young talent in the Toronto Blue Jays Farm System we'll be seeing many changes over the next couple of years.  

  It would stand to reason that the Jays would get rid of current Manager John Gibbons and bring in a fresh face to Manage the team.  A good place to start would be to hire a career baseball man like Joe Girardi.

  The Blue Jays have perhaps the greatest talent in the Minors today in Vladimir Guerrero Jr..  As a third baseman this leaves a dilemma for the Jays brass as we still have Josh Donaldson in our Organization.  I would say trade Donaldson and Lourdes Gurriel to the Arizona Diamondbacks and pick up Steven Souza Jr., Clay Buchholz, Jon Duplantier, and Silvino Bracho from the Diamondbacks Organization.  This would free our team salary of about $10 Million for what Donaldson would be getting on his next contract with the club.  Also remove Randal Grichuk, Devon Travis, Kendrys Morales, and Marco Estrada in trades for prospects likewise for the purpose of freeing future cap space with all our young talent.

  At this point, with Girardi, let him develop all the young talent the Jays have in the Minors today.  Over the next two years bring up the following players;  Sean-Reid Foley (RHP), Jordan Romano (RHP), Zach Jackson (RHP), Travis Bergen (LHP), Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Rowdy Tellez, Bo Bichette, Cavan Biggio, Danny Jansen, Dalton Pompey, Dwight Smith, and Anthony Alford. 

  As a result of all these changes being made to start the 2019 Campaign the Toronto Blue Jays 25 Man Roster would look as such;
