"I was born on the move," said Jackson, who now has been traded five times. "There's no bitter feelings. It's not the first time I've been traded. I liked it here, a great group of guys, but at the end of the day, you have to do what you have to do."

This guy doesn't unpack his bags does he. Wow.

AA (Alex Anthopoulos), GM for Jays has been targeting Rasmus since he took over in Toronto. This deal is meant to solidify Toronto's outfield for the foreseeable future with Rasmus, Snider and Thames all 24 years old or younger and Bautista, once Lawrie gets the call to play 3rd base in the next fortnight.

Jays need to address 2nd base and their bullpen to become competitive next year. I suspect that will be the focus in the off season now that all other positions.

Jays will spend the rest of this season giving their young players much exposure and assessing exactly what they will need to compete for post season next year!

Jays are now an exciting young team to watch! Just a couple more pieces are required for Jays to become a very competitive team!
