PRICE REPORTEDLY TO TORONTO

So much for the Yankees getting David Price. According to ESPN Toronto Blue Jays are giving up Daniel Norris, Matt Boyd and Jario Labourt and will receive Price. Toronto recently got Troy Tulowitzki from the Rockies. Price went to the Tigers last year before trade deadline, but with their current record of 49 - 52, and being fourth in the AL Central, they are looking to completely reboot.

Meanwhile, the Yankees are staying true to their claims that their top four prospects - Luis Severino, Aaron Judge, Greg Bird, Jorge Mateo - will not be available. It's what prevented us from getting Cole Hamels. I wouldn't be surprised if that's also what kept us from Price. Or maybe we weren't making a serious bid for him in the first place. Who knows!

Bright side to this? The Yankees are pretty constantly productive against Price. So there you have it folks. Price to the Blue Jays, and the Yankees still get nothing.

ROGERS SOLID BUT YANKS LOSE TO JAYS

Esmil Rogers, who's trying to get that 5th spot in the Yankees rotation was solid against the Blue Jays yesterday, pitching 3 innings and didn't allow a run.  He is making a good name for himself. I'm officially pulling for this guy.

Alex Rodriguez got some playing time at 3rd.  In fact, according to MLB.com, "Rodriguez got the start at third base for New York and went 1-for-3 with a single off the wall in right field. He struck out in his first at-bat on three pitches and later flied out to right in his final appearance of the game. Rodriguez is 6-for-16 with a homer and two RBIs in seven games this spring.

The single by Rodriguez in the fourth inning was one of the only hard-hit balls against Blue Jays starter Daniel Norris, who pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings while striking out four."

In other words, the Yanks were a dud this game when it came to offense. It happens... don't panic... no big deal.

Don't forget, they also played the Tigers yesterday and won.

Final: Blue Jays 1 - Yankees 0
