Non-tender deadline

Raul Chavez is the only Jays non-tender. It leaves the Jays with no catchers on the 40-man. That could mean the Jays are on the verge of a trade, Roy Halladay to the Angels? or a trade for Doumit?


Jonny Gomes would be a goog pick up for someone......Jays...?
Other players of note, Atkins, Cust, ****, Garko

I think the Jays have to have something pretty close to being done. With Pudge, Kendall, and Zaun, signed, Navarro tendered, and Torrealba seemingly close to signing, there aren't many starting options left.

Napoli is one of the players that have been rumored (along with Saunders, Aybar). Max Ramirez sounds like a good possibility coming from the BoSox.

Arencibia had a struggled last year, lots of K's and no walks but he did have some good stretches. Cito is not one to give some of the younger guys a shot and will instead go with a vet (see Millar). For now Arencibia seems to be a Sept/injury call-up unless he blisters the ball early on.

I don't think there are many teams that would hand the starting job to someone that is coming off a .235 avg and .280 obp in their first year in AAA. I assume they'll be looking to acquire someone via trade, and grab a veteran catcher to serve as a backup.

And I bet Accardo goes to the Pirates for Doumit. Since the Bucs already non-tendered Capps.
