Today is the day where pre-free agent players have to be tendered a contract or cut loose. We'll get to see if the Jays are really willing to pay $3 million or so to Josh Towers or whether it was just a bluff to try and get something in a trade.
Ricciardi indicates that the backup catcher position should be resolved this week. I think the Jays might be waiting for Johnny Estrada to possibly be cut loose by the Mets.
EDIT: Apparently it's Wednesday for the tendering deadline. My bad.
