Brandon League and a Prospect sent to the Mariners for Brandon Morrow

According to a number of sources the Jays will be sending the enigmatic Brandon League and a prospect (details to come) to the Seattle Mariners for fireballer Brandon Morrow.

So far this looks like a good trade for the Jays (depending on who the prospect is). League wasn't amounting to much in Toronto, and will probably not mount to much in Seattle. Morrow on the other hand is a year younger, has tons of upside, and is controllable for longer.

My sources tell me that the Jays may consider moving Morrow back into a starters role.

** It's nice to have a GM that other GM's will actually work with.

Halladay Traded to the Phillies - FINAL

Well it's happened. The good Doctor will be leaving Toronto. Halladay will be sent to Philly as part of a four team blockbuster. The other teams involved are Seattle and Oakland.

Coming to Toronto are highly touted prospects;

Kyle Drabek:

Drabek is the center-piece of the package for the Jays. He is known to have plus fasetball, and the makings of a good changeup. He is also known as a fierce competitor.

Travis d’Arnaud:

Travis is said to have a great makeup and good tools. He is seen by most pundits as a future starting major league catcher.

Brett Wallace:

Wallace is known to be a "special hitter" and a "student of the game." AA sees him playing first base for the Jays in the near future.

Thanks for everything, Roy. You were a treat to watch, and you truly are a great human being.

It would have been awesome to see you win as a Blue Jay, but I understand the current clubs situation and the fact that you want to win now. Perhaps if your still around in four years a return to Toronto could be in the cards?

However, thanks for all the great memories, and good luck in Philly!

Jays Sign Chavez to a Minor League Contract. Bring in John Buck too..

Well this is somewhat interesting. The Jays now have no catchers on the current Major League Roster. Something must be in the works. I have heard the names of Doumit and Mike Napoli.

I wouldn't mind seeing Napoli in a Jays uniform. That man has some serious power.

UPDATE: Unfortunately it turned out to be not that interesting afterall. Chavez was resigned to a minor league contract. The Jays have also signed former Royals catcher John Buck to a one year deal.
Oh well... another position of weakness for the Jays.
