The deadline can't get here fast enough because we certainly need some reinforcements. The AL East won't keep dropping this many games and the days of .750 baseball aren't going to last much longer.
I'm not sure the Jays will make a deadline deal. They have allegedly reached their payroll ceiling, and it's doubtful Rogers will increase it again without a guarantee of increased revenue. The playoffs look possible, but not a sure thing.
I'm going to guess the big deadline moves will be either hoping Morrow is healthy, and/or calling up Sanchez. Or maybe they hope to catch lightening in a bottle with someone like Liz.
If they're leading the division at the break, you'd have to hope that AA and Beeston aren't completely incompetent enough to not be able to convince the bean counters that the extra pitching help will directly correlate to a playoff position that will see more revenue than they could have imagined. Time will tell I suppose.
