-Type B FA, C Miguel Olivo signed by Seattle. Toronto receives a supplemental first round pick.

-Type B FA, RP Kevin Gregg signed by Baltimore. Toronto receives a supplemental first round pick.

*Toronto will receive the Angels 2nd rounder instead of their 1st due to the bottom 18 teams from 2010 being protected from losing 1st round picks when signing FA's. Anaheim finished 17th worst in 2010, narrowly having their first pick protected.
