I’m going to make a confession to you. Since entering the Majors, Alejandro Kirk has been my favorite player. Why? I have no idea.
I like the player. That’s it. I wonder what will be the fate that will be reserved for him in 2022.
The main interested party will fight with Danny Jansen for the position of starting receiver at the opening of training camp, a duel that will deserve the attention of the fans.
We know how good Danny Jansen is at his position. He excels defensively and is able to bring his share to the offensive level by streak.
Kirk is good at bat and needs to improve defensively. Do you see the nuance?
The two men shared the work in 2021 and the results were there. But there is congestion at receiver in the Jays organization with the two I’m talking about, Reese McGuire and Gabriel Moreno.
What’s the plan, then?

If the Jays decide to go with Kirk, chances are that Jansen’s name will float around in the trade rumors. And if the Jays decide to go with Jansen, odds are Kirk’s name will float through trade rumors.
The Jays love their two players, but they can’t keep them forever. We will have to make room for Moreno, who turns out to be one of the best hopes of the team in general.
The file will be to watch in the coming months, and do not be surprised if one of the two were to be exchanged. Because yes, both will have a good value on the exchange market.
