Gil Meche apparently will let the baseball world know today which team he will sign a lucrative contract with. The Blue Jays, along with the Cubs and Royals are the finalist to obtain his services. The Jays have reportedly offered him a 4 year contract worth between $32 and $36 million.

The Jays continue to talk with Lilly's agent, but rumors are circulating that the Cubs are in the lead for his services. J.P. seems to be getting tired of waiting for a response; "We're all getting a little tired of the talking," Ricciardi said. "At some point, it's got to get to 'yes' or 'no.' We're getting close to that point." Those comments might help make up Lilly's mind in signing somewhere else.

There has been some speculation that the Jays are interested in platoon outfielder Matt Stairs. It's been few years since the Jays have had a Canadian on their roster, Paul Quantrill being the last.

It was also mentioned that another Canadian, Eric Gagne, would be interested in pitching for the Jays. He would be a risk coming off several elbow surgeries, but if they could get him at a low base salary plus incentives, he would definitely bolster their bullpen if he could stay healthy.
