- Ross atkins will be named GM shortly
- Jays are expected to sign a couple of journey man back-up catchers who will compete with organizational talent during Spring Training for the back-up spot to Russ Martin. Also will look at waiver wire at conclusion of spring training, with Martins salary increasing substantially YOY do not want to invest more on back-up position.
- At Winter meetings team will continue to talk trade involving current big league pieces emphasis on improving farm depth as well as big league roster, looking for controllable players. Edwin and Bautista will not be traded during the off-season, should Jays fall out of contention look for a dead-line deal, as players would then be more likely to waive 10-5 rights.
- Loup, and Jenkins currently penciled in on big-league bullpen along with Sanchez/Chavez, Cecil and Osuna, with strong performance likely needed from Tepera, Schultz. and Venditte
- Dellabar has fallen out of favour with Gibbons, look for him to be released or request a release should he not be on the big-league roster
- Will also be bringing in veteran ex-closers as well as reclamation projects to compete for a bullpen spot during spring training
- Have had dialogue with Lowes agent, however Lowe is looking for a guaranteed multi-year deal while Jays are more inclined on a 1 year deal with a club option
