1. I get that he had a terrible year, but if the Jays miss out on some of the high end FA why not look at Kendrys Morales? Guy has hit over the course of his career (I realize he didn't last year), he could benefit alot from a hitters ballpark, is a switch hitter, and he would be cheap. Just a thought.
2. Word on the internet machine is that Russell Martin is the Jays main priority this off-season. Let's say everything works out and they get him. Does that mean that RA Dickey is going to be traded? Hear me out here? If they pick up Martin that would make 3 catchers on the 25 man roster. You ain't going to move Navarro and you can't justify holding a bench spot for Thole so in the effort of making a long thought process short if the Jays move Dickey and Thole it give them versatility on the bench, in the line-up and also some financial flexibility as they could probably move a SP anyways.
3. Jays traded Anthony Gose! Don't think I ever remember seeing a guy look worse striking out than Anthony Gose.
4. So the Roger's Centre is getting new Astro Turf this year, which is nice! I still don't know what this means for the players? I would assume it would help reduce injuries, slow down the ball through the infield and the possibly have some seam issues.
5. Rumor from Bob Elliott is that the Jays offered Mekly 39M/3 Years. I'm embarrassed for the Jays is this is true. I get the art of negotiation, and there's a good chance the Melky camp is just pushing this info out to get some leverage, but what Melky brings to the team is worth more than 13M a year. If the Jays don't end up with Melky, I can't wait to see what their plans are then especially given they got ride of Lind to give them more Financial Flexibility.
