Buddy can you spare a left fielder?

Is this guy available?

The tweet from Arden Zwelling came as a surprise.

Blue Jays left field non-update: "Right now we're looking at a Carrera-Upton platoon," says John Gibbons. Steve Pearce will also factor in.

Heading into the offseason, the Jays had something of a logjam in the outfield. Barring injury, Jose Bautista and Kevin Pillar were guaranteed the right and center field spots, setting the stage for a competition between Ben Revere, Michael Saunders, and Dalton Pompey. Rather than letting things play out, the Jays jettisoned Revere to Washington, reallocating his increasing salary to an area of greater need.

By trading Revere, the organization now has a clear top four in the outfield; Bautista, Pillar, Saunders, and Pompey.
