Beeston says they won't budge on team policy of not giving out deals longer than 5 yrs. . Had Prince wanted 5 they may have bid

Farrell gives himself a C when asked to grade his 1st season. Says rotation needs more quality innings this year. #bluejays

Beeston asked where they want to be in 5yrs. "We better be a post season time by then. Could start this year, could start next.

As far as lack of trades AA says they would have to sacrifice too many core guys and wouldn't be worth it. Got cheers for answer. #bluejays

Beeston says the #bluejays are "examining the posibilty of one day playing on grass. Can't promise it will happen but is being considered

AA says to get to elite status you need elite players. All starts in minors. Says Marcum for Lawrie trade is example. #bluejays

Farrell confirms that Thames and Snider will battle for LF job in camp. #bluejays

AA admits they don't have a true cleanup hitter but they have power to bottom. Also defends kelly Johnson and predicts big year.

AA says there were a couple of FAs they offered more $ and yrs than what that player signed for elsewhere so its not always abt money
