7 veterans the Blue Jays could sign this offseason to grant Kevin Gausman his wish

Christian Walker

Skipping back over to the position player side of things (it's an alphabetical list, cut me some slack), Walker would be an excellent fit on the Blue Jays as long as he's got a clear cut role on their roster.

With some shifting parts, there could be a fit. Walker, a 10-year veteran who's going to be wrapping up a successful eight-year stint on the Diamondbacks, could play a ton of first base (where he's excellent defensively) and fill in as a designated hitter as needed. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has expressed interest in making a more permanent move to third base, so this could play into the Jays' favor if they have Walker on their list of players to sign.

One of the best defensive first basemen in the league who is also a legitimate power threat at the plate, there's no real downside to bringing Walker aboard. He can pick it with the best of them at first, he's hit 25 or more home runs in four of the past six years and he's also an above-average hitter against both right- and left-handed pitching.

Even if Guerrero doesn't make a move back to the hot corner, Walker could fit onto this roster. It may come at the expense of someone like Spencer Horwitz, who has faked it at second base a lot this year but isn't a long-term piece there, but Horwitz could always be dangled in trade talks to upgrade the roster this offseason so it all works out in this hypothetical scenario.
