Well folks according to this article http://www.thestar.com/Sports/.../article/488751 JP will be "standing pat" next season.
NEW YORK–While Toronto's division rivals prepare for free-agent spending sprees, Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi is planning a quiet off-season of internal re-arming.
"I don't really know how much we're going to look to spend," Ricciardi said over the weekend at Yankee Stadium. "I mean, we'll do some things. But we'll probably be more judicious in how we do it."
By contrast, the flailing Yankees are warming their charge cards in advance of a frontal assault on the best available talent. Names dangling for them include Milwaukee starter CC Sabathia, Angels slugger Mark Teixeira and the Jays' own A.J. Burnett.
If you ask me good sir, if the Jays do not upgrade DH, SS and acquire one starting pitcher (due to the pending departure of AJ Burnett), will be in for another 3rd of 4th place finish next season.
Let's get serious here people - The Yankees will be a lot better next year, Tampa Bay will be one more year experienced, and Boston will be Boston. We are not in a good position here.
Hopefully Roy Halladay did not read that article.
