  1. Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Americans. To my Canadian followers, your Christmas lights will no longer seem strange come Friday.
  2. More on McDonald signing and Jays' situation at shortstop: http://bit.ly/4Wmvzq
  3. @jdf13 Nah, it was just "Have a Happy Thanksgiving!" by that point.
  4. After 7 minutes of Q&A with a couple reporters, nice-guy Johnny Mac was greeted by silence on the conf. call. "What, no more questions?"
  5. Johnny Mac knows the situation: "Finding another shortstop is definitely something that's on Alex's plate."
  6. Johnny Mac: "I really have enjoyed my time in Toronto and Alex wanted to keep me on and to be a part of what he's trying to build here."
  7. McDonald: "A lot of teams had a similar idea on me as a player. We had a multi-year offer and a handful of 1-year offers ranging in salary."
  8. @AFJaysFan He said a short-term solution through free agency. Options: Orlando Cabrera, Miguel Tejada, Alex Gonzalez, among others.
  9. Wife watching "Biggest Loser" and they're on MSU's campus. Jillian jsays "We're here in Lansing." It's EAST LANSING. C'mon! Get it right.
  10. Anthopoulos: "There's no question, long-term, shortstop in this organization, it's certainly a position of need."
  11. @jeffpasquale The Jays are also searching for long-term solution, likely via trade or thru the draft. J-Mac and a FA signing buy time at SS.
  12. Jays' search for starting shortstop is ongoing: http://bit.ly/64gzy0
  13. Anthopoulos added that McDonald's role is "undefined" going into the season. Jays still searching for a starting SS.
  14. Anthopoulos said talks with SS Marco Scutaro have "stalled" and if he does return to Jays it would likely be on a 1-year contract
  15. Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos still actively looking for a SS thru free agency as a short-term solution & hopes to have something done soon.
  16. RT @BlueJays: FREE AGENT SIGNING: Toronto Blue Jays sign SS John McDonald to a 2-year contract worth $3 million dollars.
  17. A nice piece on new Lansing Lugnuts skipper Sal Fasano by @jeffpearlman ( hat tip @drunkjaysfans ): http://bit.ly/51n2B
  18. @mcdogerry Not sure how that happened. Justin Mashore is hitting coach for Dunedin.
  19. @jessespector And one of the best to just chat with when there is down time in the clubhouse. Enjoyed having him in Toronto.
  20. Would've loved to have worked with Sal when I covered the Lugnuts for the Lansing State Journal back in '05-06 while I was at MSU.
