The Blue Jays bulked up on the final day of the 114th winter meetings selecting right-hander Joe Biagini from the San Francisco Giants for $50,000. Biagini will either be at Tropicana wearing a Jays uniform opening night or back in the Giants organization.

Will Jays ever get around to re-upping Encarnacion or is this farwell?

The Dodgers were supposed to send a pair of prospects to the Reds to acquire Aroldis Chapman. And they still might. But for now the trade is on hold.

As opening media winter meetings briefings go the one Ross Atkins delivered was very guarded and a tad bland.

No idea how good a general manager Tony LaCava will be when the time finally comes. We know one thing. LaCava is a good soldier and a loyal company man.

The Blue Jays have been talking trade with the Milwaukee Brewers.

R.A. Dickey was averaging about 14 strides before being stopped by someone for another handshake at the winter meetings.

When the Blue Jays met to vote on post-season shares in September they were in a giving mood. 

LaCava gets all the praise, not the GM job
