If the other teams didn't want to match that price, then it's more than fine to wait until the offseason and get those picks, or resign those players, it's not like we have a bunch of spectacular bullpen guys on the farm anyway.
I'm pleased by the results of the day, because it means that AA wants a certain value out of players if he's going to move them. If not, then he'll keep them instead of being in a rush to dump them.

Only player who will be type A is Downs. Rest of them are type B.
I understand not moving Downs. I don't understand Buck, why keep him and leave JPA in the minors. There is no chance Buck is with the Jays next season in my opinion. Molina is the Catcher who is the better game caller.
Jays have no chance at a playoff spot. They need to play the young players and give them a chance to get experience. Especially the Catcher.
I bet Frasor, Downs, Overbay and Buck are all gone next year. Key is how many of them will get Arbritation offered (i.e. no chance Overbay is offered)
