Blue Jays News
![]() Blue Jays left-hander Ricky Romero was at his Los Angeles home Saturday morning visiting his parents, but this wasn’t just a chance to catch up on baseball stories and home cooking. Romero, who credits parents Sandra and Ricardo with setting him on the path to a major-league career, shared a proud moment by gathering the family around the home phone when the Jays called to announce his rich new contract extension. ![]() Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Lyle Overbay has cleared waivers and could be on the move according to an online report. Overbay was not in the starting lineup Thursday vs. the Red Sox as Adam Lind was scheduled to play first base. Foxsports.com reported Thursday that a major league source confirmed the 33-year-old wasn't claimed by any teams. The report states that he would be a perfect fit in Tampa Bay where the Rays are hitting a just .215 in their last 19 games. Si is reporting Cuban outfielder-first baseman Leslie Anderson and the Tampa Bay Rays reached agreement Tuesday on a four-year contract worth a minimum of $1,725,000. The TOronto Sun is reporting As Toronto moves on without Roy Halladay, according to some, the clubhouse is a more relaxed place. The problem with Halladay was simply that he was so dedicated, worked so hard and had such a talent gap between himself and the others -- he was buddies with Chris Carpenter way back and more recently for a time with A.J. Burnett, two pitchers who came close to matching his talent -- that the younger pitchers were intimidated and didn't know how to approach him. Yahoo Sports is reporting Outfielder Adam Lind(notes) and the Toronto Blue Jays agreed Saturday to an $18 million, four-year contract that includes three additional club option years. TSN is reporting The Toronto Blue Jays put the finishing touches on their pitching staff Thursday and will open the season with a starting five of Shaun Mar*****, Brian Tallet, Ricky Romero, Brandon Morrow and Dana Eveland. Baltimoresportsreport is reporting It is no secret the Blue Jays are using 2010 as a rebuilding year. They lost their ace, Roy Halladay, to the Phillies this past offseason and their rotation is in shambles. Playing in the AL East and not having a strong pitching staff is not a good combination. Their lineup also has some question marks so 2010 could prove to be a very long season for the Blue Jays. Boston.com is reporting The Blue Jays were a 75-win team with Roy Halladay. Without him? Well, second baseman Aaron Hill feels they could be one of those “under-the-radar’’ teams. Various sources are reporting that the Toronto Blue Jays are about to sign free-agent reliever Kevin Gregg. The Cleveland Indians have traded pitcher Zach Jackson(notes) to the Toronto Blue Jays for a player to be named.
