General manager Alex Anthopoulos said that while he is open to bringing back Marco Scutaro, Rod Barajas and John McDonald, that doesn't mean it will happen.
"As much as I like John McDonald, Rod Barajas and Marco Scutaro, there might be alternatives that make this organization better and are the right alternatives for this team," said Anthopoulos. "We'd like to bring them back, (but) everything has to fit with respect to what the alternatives are and with respect to what their financial requirements are. I'm starting to get a pretty good handle on where their expectations are with respect to the market and what they feel their value might be." Among the impending free agents, Scutaro, 34, figures to drum up the most interest on the open market. As a Type A free agent, he could net the Blue Jays two first round draft picks if he turns down arbitration in order to sign with another team. Source: The Canadian Press
