1) AJ Burnett's agent has notified the Jays brass that he plans to opt out of his current contract, thus allowing him to test the market as a true free agent. Basically this means that AJ's days in Toronto are over. We cannot, and should not overpay a player for one very good season in the majors. We did it once with him and got 1 full season from the guy. Goodbye Mr. Burnett, we barely knew you.
However, with this news the Jays MUST make it priority number one to remove Jesse Litsch from the number 2 pitching position. Someone like Ryan Dempster or Jake Peavy (dream) should be seriously looked at either through free agency or via the trade route.
2) JP has been hard at work signing some bums to fill out the Jays roster through the waiver wire. I would post names ans stats, but I highly doubt we will see any of these guys in Jays uniform... or at least I hope not anyway.
3) The Yankees have declined the option on Jason Giambi's contract. The Jays should be opening the vault to acquire this guy. He would fill a MAJOR hole in the Jays weak hitting lineup.
