Things are quiet in Blue Jay land, not that that stops us from yakking non-stop. Very minor Jays news...

Paplebon has the Jays on his no-trade list (he can list 17 teams)
Red Sox vice president of amateur and international scouting Amiel Sawdaye interviewed for the Blue Jays‘ GM vacancy
Ex-Jay for a minute Mike Napoli is signing with Cleveland
MLB Trade Rumours has their estimates for arbitration spending. Spoiler - Jays at $37.8 mil. Only the Orioles projected to be hit harder in arbitration at $42.9 mil.

Like I said, very quiet. HOF voting is going on with Tim Raines looking good in early voting to come close with just one year to go. 74.5% through 55 public ballots plus named on 12 of 13 partial ballots (Murray Chass might submit a blank ballot). Griffey has a perfect score so far, Bagwell over 80%, Piazza at 89%, so it could be a 4 man crew again. Ex-Jays: Clemens 54.5%, Jeff Kent 14.5%, Fred McGriff 16.4%. Canadian Content: Larry Walker 9.1%
