Blue Jays look to sign Jazz Chisholm Jr. as potential Ernie Clement replacement
Summary

The Toronto Blue Jays are projected to pursue veteran infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. this offseason. The team aims to strengthen their roster after falling short post-World Series appearance. With Ernie Clement struggling in the second half of the last season, moving him to a utility role could open the door for Chisholm. He played under a $10.2 million contract with the Yankees but may explore free agency. His addition could provide needed power and versatility to the Blue Jays' lineup.

The Toronto Blue Jays might just be in a spot where they can add a good bat to the infield if the opportunity presents itself. They could very well add a veteran second baseman that would allow Ernie Clement to play wherever he wants in a utility role.
