ed_price Source says Encarnacion and minor-leaguer from #Reds to #BlueJays for Rolen. But Alonso doesn't seem right as the minor-leaguer

Yeah...the Jays are cutting payroll. Trading Halladay would be the right thing to do at this point. Encarnacion is simply a significant dropoff from Rolen, both offensively and defensively.
Just saw that it's EE and Alonso.

If it's Alonso, then it's a great deal for the Jays.
