According to reports, the Blue Jays might not be big fans of Horwitz for some undisclosed reason since it seems like all season long, despite of how well he was playing they would make sure to take playing time away from him.
While the smart decision seems to be to keep Horwitz and have him be a big part of the lineup next year, the Blue Jays have proven over the past couple years that making the smart decision is not always their main focus.
