Blue Jays beat writer Jordan Bastian chatted with J.P. Ricciardi about the trade deadline.
"While that's still two months down the road, Ricciardi did say that he'd "owe it to the players" to pursue help at the deadline if the club was still performing this well."
According to Bastian, Ricciardi isn't concerned with pitching and would seek "'another thumper' for the middle of the lineup" depending on who's available and how much ownership is willing to expand payroll.
