With Justin Smoak a free agent and Rowdy Tellez is coming off a rookie season that isn't particularly encouraging, it's clear that first base is a major hole for the Toronto Blue Jays. Free agency is a valid route, but so too is the trade market where there are some interesting bats floating around who could be a major upgrade for the Blue Jays' lineup.

As long as Rowdy Tellez is the Toronto Blue Jays' primary option at first base, you can be certain they'll be looking for an upgrade. It's not impossible to imagine the big 24-year-old becoming an above-average hitter considering his raw power, but his plate discipline issue is a huge mountain to climb.
