M. Batista on his way out of Tornto?

[YanksLifer]

If Miguel Batista gets traded it will more than likely be for use as a set-up man. Does Justin Speier automatically assume the closer role in Toronto or does Jason Frasor get a shot?

Where are these rumors about Batista coming from? I'm starting to hear from a lot of places that he's being shopped.

With the Jays just sweeping the Angels, I've read that they'll make a run for the WC. Guys like Batista, Lilly and Hillenbrand, who were all mentioned as trade bait, should be staying. However, with the emergence of Aaron Hill, they are shopping O. Hudson.

That's right, keep Batista at closer Toronto...nice Jays...
