DUNEDIN, Fla. – Late in January, as the Blue Jays’ pursuit of Freddy Galvis picked up, Charlie Montoyo reached out with a recruiting call.
By this point in the winter, the Blue Jays had already released Troy Tulowitzki, but they weren’t quite ready to make Lourdes Gurriel Jr. the everyday shortstop. Galvis, a 29-year-old free agent with an above-average glove, was their target. Not only could he field, but as the active leader in consecutive games played, he offered something Tulowitzki couldn’t: durability.
