Looks like T.O. is on the short list of finalists to land A.J. Rumour has it that he'll make a decision sometime next week.

I think its only fitting that A.J. goes to T.O. to join J.P and the newly signed B.J. He would fit right in!

I'm glad Giles re-signed with the Padres. Although the 5 year $55 million reports were false, the Jays' offer of 3 years $33 million was still way too high for a 35 year old Giles.

As far as the Kevin Mench trade talks with Texas go, the Rangers apparently wanted Batista, Alex Rios and Brandon League for Mench. Uh... NO THANKS!! I'm sure talks will continue at the Winter Meetings next week but the Rangers asking price is going to have to come way down (I hope).
