And no, we won’t start any heinous rumors of Brett Wallacebeginning a CFL career with the Toronto Argonauts! Although, he may be wise to consider flirting with some of the Canadian Football leagues Cheerleaders! After all he’s going to need something to keep him warm after a move from sunny Oakland, California’ s Fahrenheit to the chilly Celsius of Toronto Ontario! Don’t fret too much Brett – the retractable roof at the Rogers Center will hasten that nasty T.O. wind chill once the 2010 MLB season begins.

Less than a week after we blogged the virtues of Brett Wallace being an Oakland A, the third base/DH prospect has become a Toronto Blue Jay. So much for Billy Beane kicking back and resting on his laurels!

The Blue Jays flipped Michael Taylor whom they received in the Blockbuster Roy Halladay/Cliff Lee deal. The Jays end up with not one, not two, but three former first round drafts picks once the dust finally settled.

It’s been a pretty wild Winter for trades and free agent signings – but thus far the Halladay deal, unless a Matt Holliday package can top it will be the biggest MLB swap of this offseason. Either way, spring training will see lots of new faces in Arizona , and Florida dugouts! How long before pitchers and catchers report!? I can’t wait!
