The Blue Jays sent their own shortstop, Jose Reyes, acquired just 2 ½ years ago in a previous stab at American League East significance, to the Rockies in a deal that was expected to include minor leaguers going to Colorado.

If they choose to keep him, they would be saving about $50 million with the Tulowitzki trade.
