The Blue Jays are facing an interesting conundrum. With a 45-49 record at the all-star break and only a minimal chance of making the post-season, should they trade for immediate help in the rotation (their biggest need)? Should they be sellers? Should they promote from within? The hottest rumour over the weekend, from Bruce Levine of ESPN Chicago, had the Blue Jays and Texas being the front runners in a trade with the Cubs for right hander Matt Garza, whos slated to become a free agent after this season. Garza has pitched extremely well since returning from an elbow operation, racking up a 6-1 record and taking the Cubs deep into ball games every start. Hes making $10.25 million this season, and the Cubs are balking at giving him the kind of raise he is looking for. Garzas career record is only 63-62 and just 21-18 in two-a-half injury marred seasons with the Cubbies since coming over in a 2011 deal with Tampa Bay. Consider what the Cubbies had to give up to get him from Tampa Bay - a five-for-two deal, with the Cubs giving up right hander Chris Archer, catcher Roinbson Chirinos, outfielder Brandon Guyer, shortstop Hak-Ju Lee and utility outfielder Sam Fuld. Archer alone makes that deal worth it for the Rays. He pitched his first career shutout on Sunday, striking out eight and blanking Houston 5-0 to bump his record to 4-3 and reduce the 24 year olds ERA to 2.96. Sam Fuld has turned into a valuable role players with the Rays as well. The Cubs know they arent going to get five players back for Garza, especially with free agency looming, but theyre not going to give him away either. Texas has a deeper farm system than the Blue Jays at the moment and Boston and Cleveland could be in the bidding as well, so Garza to the Jays looks like a bit of a long shot. This is where Ricky Romero enters the picture again. If the Blue Jays consider themselves out of the post-season picture, might they give Ricky another shot at reclaiming his spot in the rotation? Sunday at Buffalo, Romero had his most dominant start yet at Triple A. He went eight innings in a 7-1 victory over the Yankees Scranton/Wilkes Barre Railriders farm club. He gave up just one run on four hits and struck out four. Romero had command of his fastball and threw 62 strikes. Romero is only 2-3 with the Bisons but has thrown four quality starts in a row and six of his last seven. Romero still has that very payroll-friendly contract as well. He gets $7.5 million in 2014 and again in 2015, when he will be 30 years old. In 2016, the final year of the deal, hes due to make $13.1 million but the Blue Jays hold a $600,000 buyout option on that year. So, the Jays could give Romero another shot after the all-star break or try to interest other teams in dealing for him. The Jays other option is to basically stand pat since Brandon Morrow and J.A Happ could be back within a month and Drew Hutchison and Kyle Drabek appear to be on the horizon as well, along with Luis Perez for the bullpen. This much I know; the Blue Jays wont concede theyre out of the post-season chase until the end of their 10 game home stand against the Rays, Dodgers and Astros coming out of the all-star break. That takes them to July 28, just three days before the non-waiver trade deadline at 4:00 PM Eastern on that Wednesday afternoon. If you think the Blue Jays have a tough decision with Romero, consider the Giants and Tim Lincecum. The man only enhanced his heroic and legendary status in San Francisco by no-hitting the Padres over the weekend, the first no-no of his career. But the 29-year-old Lincecum is only 5-9 on the season and over the last three years his cumulative record over the past three seasons is only 28-38. Hes also making $22 million this season and is a free agent after this year. Lincecums career accomplishments are hard to deny. Back to back Cy Young Awards in 2009 and 2010 and World Series titles in two of the last three years, and now a no-hitter. Hes got the foundation of a Hall of Fame career with an 84-65 record but the Giants, who actually have a worse record than the Blue Jays at 43-51, have to be wondering if its time to move Lincecum and start building for the future. Lincecums name could be one of the most intriguing on the open market as trade deadline day approaches.David Segui Jersey .

It doesnt have the national cache of Michigan-Ohio State or Alabama-Auburn but the animosity in the state is very real. The two meet next on Saturday in Salt Lake City.I just want to shut them up, honestly, Utah receiver Tim Patrick said. I hear about it 24-7 since I got here. I experienced it in the bowl game. Seen videos of the trash talking. I want to be on the winning end, on that side. Be one of the guys that shuts them up.Whittingham and three Utah assistants played at BYU while Sitake and three of his assistants were once on the Utah staff. Guy Holliday went from coaching receivers at BYU last season to Utah now.Brothers Kai Nacua (BYU) and Samson Nacua (Utah) will be on opposite sidelines and BYU defensive end Harvey Langi began his collegiate career at Utah.As heated as the rivalry can get, both sides have downplayed how much the familiarity will actually factor in Saturday. Though Whittingham acknowledged Holiday has provided some insight on individual players.With anything with social media, that kind of fuels the fire a lot of times for people, BYU offensive coordinator Ty Detmer said. Its definitely more intense, probably, then when I was here because you didnt hear that part of it and see some of those things. That adds to it a little bit. But with Kalani having been there a long time and the fans loving him when he coached at Utah, theres maybe not the bitterness that has been there in the past.Sitake grew up a BYU fan and played for the Cougars before being joining the Utah staff for a decade.dddddddddddd He and Whittingham golfed together multiple times during the summer and remain close friends.Sitakes presence may have an impact on the vitriol, but it was just December when former Utah defensive tackle Seni Fauonuku called BYU a dirty team before the two played in the Las Vegas Bowl -- a 35-28 Utah win.BYU linebacker Fred Warner remembers.Just the way they came at us during the bowl game and some of the activities, just didnt feel right, Warner said.It was just January when Utah mens basketball coach Larry Krystkowiak canceled the series between the two teams due to a venomous and toxic environment. Utah lawmakers then ordered an audit of the University of Utah sports department after the game was canceled. The athletic directors decided to renew the series in 2017-18.Utah defensive end Kylie Fitts thinks its the nastiest rivalry in the country.You guys dont hear or see what goes on on the field and under the piles, Fitts said. Its nasty, but theres definitely respect for both teams. ... Its electric. You can feel it in the air. You can feel it in practice. You can feel it in the weight room. For me personally, I feel its as heated as its ever been.The upperclassmen on the Utah defense were recruited by Sitake and Fitts said the BYU coach is basically the reason hes at Utah.BYU defensive end Corbin Kaufusi has been on both sides since his dad Steve flipped from the Utah staff to the BYU staff in 2002.I remember my older brother and my little brother, we used to always paint our faces black with the red, Kaufusi said. Its kind of funny to be on the other side of it now. I remember when I was younger, it did seem like it got a little snippy and there were times where its a little dirtier than it needs to be. ' ' '
