  1. Steve Gilbert (@dbackswriter) has a Major League source saying Jays and D-backs are "making progress" on Overbay-Snyder trade
  2. Asked if the Blue Jays are entering a "rebuilding" period, Anthopoulos replied: "Really, I would characterize it as building."
  3. Anthopoulos: "I'm not going to, and I'm currently not actively shopping any of our players. That's something that is very important to me."
  4. AA cont'd: "That doesn't necessarily mean [trades] are going to occur but it's probably a little bit more of a fit for our club right now."
  5. AA: "Trades are definitely something that I'm going to be more aggressive with overall."
  6. Anthopoulos: "There's many ways to improve this club. I don't think it'll happen all in one offseason. There definitely is a plan."
  7. AA: "There are several players that I would be very reluctant to trade. That being said, I think I have to be open-minded to anything."
  8. @BlueJayHunter AA said he plans on being more active with trades than with FAs this offseason. I wouldnt expect any lavish spending.
  9. Anthopoulos on playing in AL East: "We need to be more than a good team or a competitive team. We have to be a great team."
  10. Anthopoulos: "The one goal, and I think every GM would tell you this, is to have a sustained model of success."
  11. Been out running family errands. Will pass along quotes from call with Jays GM over the next few minutes. Check bluejays.com later for more.
