Which Blue Jays prospect is next to make his MLB debut? The answer might surprise you

Roster shuffling is inevitable due to injuries, doubleheaders, etc., and there's always a chance that the Blue Jays will need to pull from their farm system and give someone a chance to make their major league debut.

Down in Buffalo, several position players - Davis Schneider, Orelvis Martinez, Joey Loperfido, Will Wagner, and Leo Jiménez - have already made their debuts, so the list of options on that side of the ball is rather thin.

Even with all of that being said, one never knows what could happen and when the major league club will need another body on a plane to Toronto as soon as possible.

Who could be next when those situations arise?

GM Ross Atkins is convinced that Tirotta is major league ready just as he was with Alan Roden.

Tirotta broke onto the scene last season when tapping into his power after a promotion to triple-A in late-May.

In his first 20 games with the Bisons, Tirotta hit seven home runs and 18 RBIs with a 1.158 OPS.

This season, Tirotta has been one of Buffalo's best hitters, slashing .258/.333/.462 with a .795 OPS, six home runs, 17 RBIs, seven doubles, and six stolen bases in 37 games.

He's cooled off during this past week or so with only three hits in his last 20 plate appearances, but before that, Tirotta's season OPS was just a hair under .900.

Albeit a small sample size, he's excelled against lefties this season, posting a 1.131 OPS against them with a pair of homers.

After primarily playing first base last year, the Bisons have moved Tirotta all around the diamond this year.

In fact, while he's played mostly at first and third, Tirotta has logged time at every defensive position except centre field and catcher this year.

Defensive flexibility is a noteworthy trait for any prospect, but being able to play other positions would work to Tirotta's advantage in this case given that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. isn't going anywhere (for 14 years, to be exact) at first, and Addison Barger seems to have a hold on third base right now.

With the amount of fringe MLB guys in Buffalo that I mentioned earlier, as well as a player like Yohendrick Pinango on the rise, Tirotta's window is closing some.

He'll need a spot on the 40-man roster, so a lot of dominoes would need to fall for Tirotta to debut with the Jays this year, but if Atkins thinks he's ready to go, he could get the green light if the stars align.

Do you think the Blue Jays will bring up Riley Tirotta at some point this season or will they trade him at the deadline?
