Alex Anthopoulos says it's possible that the Toronto Blue Jays will look to trade their surplus of relievers this offseason.
"The club's surplus of relievers is one area of depth we might have that could be attractive to other teams," he said. "We were asked about a lot of our guys in July and I don't know how the offseason's going to go, but it will not surprise me if maybe we use some of that depth to help the club in some other areas."

The San Francisco Giants have publicly stated that they would like to re-sign Tim Lincecum, who can hit the open market a few days after the World Series.
"We've begun those discussions and hopefully there's an opportunity to bring Timmy back and in short order," vice president Bobby Evans said. "That's our hope. We don't intend to wait if Timmy's willing to work with us right now. And that's the impression I'm getting -- that they're willing to work with us."
Lincecum has said that he would like to explore free agency.
Josh Donaldson might be a player the Oakland Athletics would like to sign long-term and he seems open to the idea.
Donaldson is on track to be a "super two" player, reaching arbitration after two years of service time rather than the more usual three years.

Pence is hitting .283/.340/.486 with 27 home runs and 96 RBIs this season.
The San Francisco Giants are engaged in serious talks with Hunter Pence on a new contract.
A deal could be reached before the regular season ends on Sunday, or not at all.
"They're about to get back to me," Pence said. "We're either really close or really far away."
Asked if he got a sense the Giants wanted a deal before the final game Sunday, Pence said, "Yeah. I don't know. I'll know shortly. We'll see. We're talking."
