The Toronto Blue Jays feel as though they’ve found their replacement for Jose Bautista in right field. Toronto acquired outfielder Randal Grichuk from the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday for reliever Dominic Leone and minor league pitcher Conner Greene. “I think he’ll have the best chance of our group to take that position over for us in right field,” Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins told reporters. Grichuk has played 57 games in left field, 55 in right and five in centre. He has a career batting average of .249, with 66 homers and 182 RBI’s in four seasons with the Cardinals.
