But now that J.P. Riccardi is no longer the GM, the Jays have "come down" from their asking price of Joba AND Phil Hughes. Now, it'd take one or the other with some other top prospects. Now, the Yankees aren't paying a "premium" because he's being traded within the AL East.
But don't you think the stock on Joba has dropped after his disappointing finish and exile to situational relief in the postseason? And Hughes, while performing well in relief during the season, wilted under the pressure of October. But, who knows? I guess the Jays will make their best deal, but all things being equal, they're probably reluctant to let him land in the same division if there is considerable interest from outside the division.
