Blue Jays Journal

The latest Inside Dish at Yahoo brings us some news that both Alex Rios and Reed Johnson could go on the block if they win their arbitration case.  Both had breakout seasons last year and with the way the market is working, both are due for a big raise.  And if the Jays can’t settle with them and the players both win their arbitration case, that’s around $2 million more in total that the Jays would like to spend.

I guess I’m not really attached to Johnson although I’ve followed Alex Rios since he was in the minors.  Apparantly a deal fell through that would have sent Rios to the Marlins because the Jays asking price (Scott Olsen) was too high.
