Blue Jay news has been scarce recently, but word has come out the Jays are looking at locking up first baseman Lyle Overbay to a multi-year deal. Overbay is eligible for arbitration this season and next, but the Jays would like to lock him up for 3 or 4 years. He made $2.52 million. Scout.com is suggesting that he might be looking for as much as $32 million over 4 years.

Overbay was acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers before last season along with Ty Taubenheim for Gabe Gross, David Bush and then minor league Zach Jackson. He had career highs in batting average (.312), home runs (22) and runs batted in (92)
