HUGE DEAL!

Sure we were hoping for a bounceback from Orel, but CAL RIPKEN!

IN preparation for the Rule 5 Draft, Steve Ray and Ed Vande Berg have been placed on waivers and Ken King and Arturo Vazquez have been added to the 40-man.

We don't expect Vande Berg to move, due to his injury status, but Ray is a risk.

Gary Gaetti has signed a Three-Year deal with the Toronto Blue Jays, at $750,000 per year! (The final year is a team option.)

Daniel Wood is placed on waivers.

Steve Ray has been claimed by multiple teams.

RULE 5 DRAFT

We drafted 2B Ted Yong from the Giants organization.

Yong has been in the Blue Jays org before but has never been in the Majors. He is a long shot to stick, but we are willing to give him a try.

We lost nobody.

We were wrong about Ed Vande Berg. He is now with the Yankees.

Steve Ray has gone to the Royals.

Daniel Wood was also claimed by the Royals.

While these were tough losses, the upgrades we made more than counter them.

Is George Brett getting on in years? Sure, but he was still an MVP finalist last year.

Toronto signed him to a two-year contract extension for $2.8m per year.

Scandal? What scandal?

Fergie Jenkins got close in his 2nd year of eligibility (72.5%) and will likely get in next year.

Joe Torre, Dick Allen, and Don Sutton are all above 60% but the first two have also had seven chances.
