masn-baseballs-orioles.jpgMaybe the Blue Jays will be too distracted by today’s trade activity to concentrate on the Orioles.

The Blue Jays acquired outfielder Colby Rasmus from the Cardinals as part of a three-team trade that also involved the White Sox. The Cardinals acquired starter Edwin Jackson, which likely ends their interest in Jeremy Guthrie. They also obtained relievers Octavio Dotel and Marc Rzepczynski, which likely ends their interest in Koji Uehara.

For the Orioles:
J.J. Hardy SS
Nick Markakis RF
