Anything is possible, but I believe he was moved off third because his defense was not up to expectations. He made 16 errors in 126 chances over 50 games at JC last year. As a point of comparison, the player next to him, Delvin Perez, committed just six errors in almost the same number of chances, 120.
If they wanted him to be a multi position guy, he would be getting at least some time at third this year, which he has not. FWIW, the move off third also happened not that many years ago to both Stephen Piscotty and Carson Kelly.
