Why doesn't Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi want to trade closer B.J. Ryan?

TORONTO — The race to sign shortstop Rafael Furcal was narrowed on Monday, when it became clear that the Blue Jays would no longer be able to land the free agent. As many as four other teams remain in the mix, and Furcal will likely make a decision this week. During last week's Winter Meetings, [...]
TORONTO — As the Winter Meetings came to a close on Thursday in Las Vegas, the Blue Jays, short the financial wherewithal to make a serious push to retain A.J. Burnett, still weren't ready to concede that they were out of the running to sign the coveted free-agent pitcher. One day later, that all changed. [...]
ATLANTA — A.J. Burnett entered the free-agent market with a "buyer beware" tag because of past injury problems, and exited it counting the riches the Yankees will provide him over the course of the next five years.

TORONTO — The Blue Jays are taking a chance on Matt Clement, and he knows that as well as anyone. But, now more than two years removed from major surgery on his right throwing shoulder, the pitcher doesn't believe Toronto is taking as big of a risk as some might think. "If you want to [...]
LAS VEGAS — For the Toronto Blue Jays, these Winter Meetings were about coming to grips with reality, but still entertaining possibilities. The club is trying to upgrade its roster, while understanding that the coming season will include its share of difficulties. It's going to be an uphill battle for the cash-strapped Jays in the [...]

LAS VEGAS — Life in the American League East just became a lot more difficult for the Toronto Blue Jays, if that was even possible. The division was daunting enough before the New York Yankees defied the current economic downturn by reeling in this offseason's biggest prize: free-agent starter CC Sabathia.
