UPDATE: A reliable source close to the Jays tells me this one is "nonsense." Sorry to disappoint!
According to our good friends at D-Rays Bay, the Blue Jays and Devil Rays are talking about an Elijah Dukes trade. The proposed deal is pitchers Shaun Marcum and Josh Sowers for Dukes.
Marcum, 25, had a strong showing in Triple A last year as well as an acceptable rookie effort with the Jays. Sowers, Jeremy’s brother, is still in the lower minors.
Not sure where Dukes would fit into Toronto’s 2007 plans, as Adam Lind is already looking for a full-time role on the team.
The radio report referenced was from Ronnie Lane of MLB Home Plate on XM Radio.
