Could the Blue Jays actually have found a way to get out of the Alex Rios contract and then the Vernon Wells contract in less than 18 months? And, because Wells showed something last year, the Blue Jays will actually get something back? As for the Angels, if they get the 2010 Vernon Wells for a 3 of the 4 years of the contract, it is a good deal. However, if they get the '07 or '09 Wells, this contract will be an albatross.| Promote this thread! |           | Joseph Ryder

And here's an idea of how idiotic this move is:

This is going to end very badly. And on top of everything, if Morales has another freak injury, now there's no one to fill in for him. I will now put my face in a cheese grater.

Heyman is now reporting $5m from Toronto to Anaheim.

| #8 Posted on 22.1.11 0103.44 | Instant Rating: 8.89 | This might outshine Carter/Alomar for Fernandez/McGriff in the annals of great Blue Jays trades. Just an unbelievable deal for Toronto. I can't believe that Anthopoulos found a taker for the Most Unmovable Contract In Baseball and, even more amazingly, gave up NO MONEY in return. Hell, if the Jays had offered to pay $40 million to Anaheim, I still would've liked the trade.
Angels fans, I'm sorry. Wells might have a good season next year but in the long-term, the Halos got boned

Still think Alex Rios for $100 waiver claim fee has to be in the mix for top Blue Jays trades. | BigDaddyLoco

That's ok. In a couple of years, they could just send THAT contract to the Angels, too.
Yeah, a whole day has passed and I'm still incredibly bitter.

Toronto's arbitration offer to Bautista was $7 million, so I doubt they're going to suddenly bump him up to $20 million per year.
I'd suspect we see Bautista and the Jays settle on a three-year, $25 million contract.
