The Blue Jays are willing to trade outfielder Alex Rios in a deal for a premium starting pitcher and have talked to the Giants about Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain. The Giants are reluctant to move either pitcher but would consider a hitter such as Rios, who is three years away from free agency.
If the Jays traded Rios, they likely would go with Adam Lind in left field and a platoon of Reed Johnson and Matt Stairs in right. Some Jays' officials believe that Lind would bat .270 with 20-25 home runs if he were given 500 at-bats.
