Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins admitted the team would mull the prospect of <a href="https://twitter.com/EthanDiamandas/status/1592953439121969153" rel="noopener">moving Springer to right field</a> on a full-time basis if the opportunity to sign a game-changing center fielder emerges. Via Ethan Diamandas of SI Now, Atkins believes Springer would be open to the move if it meant bringing in a star center fielder during the offseason.</p><p>“If that does present itself, where there’s an everyday center fielder that we can add, [and] it makes our team better, I know George will be open to [moving to right field],” said Atkins.</p><p>Springer’s time in center field for the Blue Jays could be over should the opportunity to pursue a center fielder emerges. Moving Springer over to right field could significantly improve Toronto’s defense, an area in which they struggled last year.</p><p>The Blue Jays have freed up a significant amount of money in the past two days by parting ways with Raimel Tapia and Bradley Zimmer, as well as trading Hernandez to Seattle. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-the-mariners-blue-jays-teoscar-hernandez-trade" rel="noopener">Hernandez deal</a> freed up over $12.5 million, while the team saved around $6.5 million with their decisions Tapia and Zimmer.</p><p>One name floated as a potential offseason target for the Blue Jays is Brandon Nimmo, who figures to collect a big payday in free agency. A plus defender in center field, Nimmo would reasonably be a strong fit for the Blue Jays, who are now able to potentially make a run at him after dealing Hernandez.</p><p>Hernandez was anticipated to make $14 million in 2023 but was set for free agency after the season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Crawford double. It looked like Crawford’s flyball was going to be just an easy catch but it was a whole lot more tricky than it appeared, with Bichette and Springer unable to communicate just in time who should get the ball. In one stroke of the bat and a fumble on the outfield by the Blue Jays fielders, the game went from a 9-6 score in favor of Toronto to a 9-9 tie. Jordan Romano was the one who gave up the hit to Crawford but remained to finish the inning.</p><p>George Springer, who signed a six-year deal worth $150 million with the Blue Jays in <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/toronto-blue-jays/george-springer-14174/" rel="noopener">2021</a>, exited the game without a hit on four at-bats.</p><p>The Blue Jays had as big of a lead as seven runs when they went up 8-1 in the fifth inning, but the Mariners completely have now changed the completion of the contest.</p><p>Both starters of the Blue Jays and the Mariners did not have great performances in Game 2. Robbie Ray allowed four earned runs on six hits in just three innings. Kevin Gausman, on the other hand, surrendered four earned runs on five hits in 5.2 innings of action on the mound.</p><p> </p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
