We dealt fan favorite Darby Mason, whose production just never could catch up to what it was a few years ago to Toronto in a deal that contained a total of 10 players, with a number of prospects included. Major leaguers 3B Danny O'Rourke, another underachiever and 23-year old hurler Bernardo Davila were sent with three prospects to Toronto for Catcher Mike Ellingson, LF Doug Picot, SP Brady Patterson and reliever George Oliver.

We effectively solved a lot of our issues with that deal, giving oursleves a decisive middle of the rotation guy, a starting catcher and helping our outfield depth issues.

It's the start of a nice new day in Bantam.

We're at $66.3 million of salary, so we can't make a lot of moves, but we will do some work and see what we can make happen.
