- With the trade deadline looming at the end of the month, management says that they don't expect any big deals. With Jon Jay back soon, we do expect to see Thames, moved with a player for another player which would be an upgrade at a position. The team has talked about getting a better contact/defensive catcher, so don't be suprised to see Thames/Arencieba dealt for a Catching upgrade. If any other moves, they will be minor as Toronto thinks they can win with this lineup

*Note: I will be increasing innings from 5 to 6*
