He also said that his coming decision, probably the biggest he'll make in his career, is one that "I kind of just pray about.

Catcher Gregg Zaun filed for free agency on Monday, but there is still a chance that he could remain in a Toronto uniform in 2007.
Vernon Wells was on Fan 590 radio with Mike Wilner late last week and reiterated that he thought his chances were "better than 50-50" that he would be with the Jays next year and for many seasons after that.
Vince Carter listed his Toronto home at $3.5 million, but it finally sold for $2.8 million to Blue Jays pitcher A.J. Burnett.
