The winter meetings start tomorrow in Las Vegas.  Most attendees are already in Vegas or are arriving today.  The meetings end with the rule 5 draft on Thursday.  Often the meetings are anti-climactic as teams discuss trades but don't pull the trigger until weeks later.  the Jays are expected to be quiet.

Richard Griffin says the Jays are expected to stay on the bench while big four wait for deals.

Bob Elliott reviews the needs of every team.

John Heyman of SI also reviews team needs.

In pre-meeting news:

Javier Vazquez was traded to the Braves for prospects.

Khalil Greene, favourite of some Bauxites, was traded to the Cardinals for prospects

Edgar Renteria and Bobby Howry signed free agent deals.

And Jordan Bastian has a mid-winter Blue Jay update, featuring 2009 shortstop Marco Scutaro.
