According to Wilner, the Jays are essentially just waiting on the Giants to respond to the trade offer this evening. Given that a few reporters have stated that the Giants have put out feelers on a few free agent pitchers, it sounds like they're at least really seriously giving this offer some thought.
I wonder if JP has any tricks up his sleeve given that moving Rios for Lincecum would free up another $4M (meaning they would have about $8M to spend this off-season). If we're planning on going with a platoon situation in the outfield, I would love to see the Jays at least upgrade their offensive output at shortstop (although it looks more and more likely like we're going with McDonald and Scudaro at short).
