I left you a shiny new stadium on the nightstand.Loria trades away 186 million in salary - Toronto Blue Jays get: Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle, Josh Johnson, Emilio Bonifacio and John Buck Miami Marlins get: Yunel Escobar,Henderson Alvarez, Adeiny Hechavarria, Jeff Mathis, Justin Nicolino, Anthony Desclafani and Jake Marisnick. At least all the National East jokes won't be about the Mets next year.
Capn2patch put me in motion!

10. "RE: Selig reviewing trade." |
Biggest reason for the hold up is the number of players who were overseas and needed to get back to Toronto or Florida to pass physicals -- Reyes, for example, was in Dubai and it took a while to get him to fly out. During the season this wouldn't have taken too long as all the players would have been in town in a matter of hours. And there's more... Add Melky Cabrera to the roster. Not the best character guy I'd like to have around but he solves a bunch of issues for the Jays in that he fills the LF and #2 slot in the batting order and he also upgrades the roster. Instead of the potential of a Rajai Davis-Emilio Bonifacio platoon in LF with Mike McCoy backing up Izturis/Bonifacio at 2nd, we now have Melky at LF, Rajai as backup, Bonifacio/Izturis at 2nd, and Izturis as a super backup at 2B, SS and 3B, with McCoy looking for a new job. Big upgrade even if Melky doesn't hit like in 2012. Having Bonifacio as backup CF improves over Rajai being Rasmus's backup as well, so we've got much greater OF flexibility in case of injuries. Now all we need is a manager. Manny Acta, please! Bet John Farrell is now thinking, "My dream job is actually in Toronto!". Sorry, you lose.

LAST EDITED ON 11-26-12 AT 07:18 AM (EST)Sweet. Just got tickets (my brother got a flex tix package) for the April 5th game - John Farrell's first game back in Toronto. It'll be LOUD. A quick comparison of a typical September lineup for the Jays to their upcoming lineup: 2011 .................. 2012 LF Davis ............. SS Reyes 3B Lawrie ............ LF Cabrera 1B Encarnacion .... RF Bautista SS Escobar ......... 1B Encarnacion DH Lind .............. 3B Lawrie RF Sierra ............ DH Lind C Arencibia ......... C Arencibia SS Hechavarria .... CF Rasmus CF Gose ............. 2B Bonifacio When Yunel Escobar was your clean-up hitter, you know you've had major problems in your lineup. Pitching - going from Romero, Morrow, Villaneuva, Alvarez, Jenkins to Morrow, JJohnson, Buerhle, Romero and Happ. Major step up, and there's depth in case of injuries that wasn't there last year. Scuttlebutt has it that the Jays aren't finished with their moves (i.e. chasing someone like Brandon McCarthy or trading from their surplus at catcher to upgrade at SP or 2B).

15. "Update" |
LAST EDITED ON 12-15-12 AT 11:43 PM (EST)Looking more and more like it's just a matter of passing the physicals (always a slow process on weekends) and doing the grunt work, but it seems like there is a deal in place between the Jays and the Mets. Also hearing that the Jays want to have a two-year extension in place for Dickey before they make the trade official so that they're not left holding the bag while giving up years of control with the two top prospects. Jays to get: R.A. Dickey Josh Thole prospect (not high end) Mets to get: Travis d'Arnaud Noah Syndergaard John Buck prospect (not high end) Ehhh. I think it's a bit steep for the Jays to give up as d'Arnaud and Syndergaard are both going to make an impact in the big leagues (d'Arnaud in 2013, Syndergaard probably in 2015), but at least I like that they'd get Buck's nutty contract off their books and would be getting a catcher with experience in catching Dickey's knuckleballs. Good bet that the deal won't be made official until Monday. Assuming this trade goes through as is, the Jays will have lost four of their top five prospects from the #1 ranked farm system (d'Arnaud, Marisnick, Syndergaard, Nicolino). Ouch. ETA: The dimwits over at the NY Post claims that Syndergaard is 6'10". Uhh no, he's 6'4". http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/metsblog/mets_close_with_blue_jays_part_dickey_dYWkPseZZfGxQi31I9quMM#axzz2FBO08UJI

16. "Agreement in principle..." |
...but the Jays have a 72-hour negotiating window to come up with an extension with Dickey by 2 pm on Tuesday.
