apparently in the press conference he suggested that he could resign in the off season.
I didn't see the conference so I can't say if thats for a fact true.

"PLEASE READ! Brilliant move for one reason and one reason only. Kelly Johnson is considered a type B free agent and on the cusp of Type A status. Both Hill and McDonald are not. We just traded them for a draft pick, maybe 2. McDonald said he wants to come back next year as either a player or coach. This reminds me of the Miguel Olivo deal. Pure brilliance. No GM's mind in the league works like AA's. Brilliant. "

AA operates like a hockey GM. Jays can hopefully get Johnson up to Type A status, then let him go and sign Reyes and convince him to move to 2B (Because Escobar is better than Reyes at SS)

Or call up that SS from AAA, put Escobar at 2nd
Sign Prince Fielder, put him at first.
Put either Lind or EE in the outfield.
