FROM 12-4-07 at 6:25pm:
The Globe and Mail’s Jeff Blair says the Blue Jays met with Paul Lo Duca’s agent today. This discussion was expected; the Jays might only have about $2.5MM to offer on a one-year deal. Lo Duca earned $6.25MM in ’07, so he might not be amenable to the huge pay cut and part-time opportunity.
