The Blue Jays don't figure on being much of a player in the free agent pool this winter.

Even though they have holes to fill at shortstop and catcher (Marco Scutaro and Rod Barajas have filed for free agency) and need help in both the rotation and the outfield, the Jays will try to fill the gaps in their roster for the 2010 season either by filling from within or making trades, according to new general manager Alex Anthopoulos.

"I would say that I would probably be more active in trades than free agency," Anthopoulos said recently. "I think trades is definitely something that I'm going to be more aggressive with overall."

Whether he can find the right fit or not, time will tell.

With the Jays expected to operate in 2010 with around the same payroll they...
