The plan for some Toronto Blue Jays players to defer their salaries in order to sign free agent pitcher Ervin Santana was beyond the planning stages. First reporting on the proposal on Thursday, FOX Sports Ken Rosenthal now indicates that the wheels were in motion to a greater extent than previously thought and that the MLBPA had already signed off on the plan. "Everyone had signed off," a source told Rosenthal of the plan. "It was already done." In the past the MLBPA has been reticent to allow its players to forego a contractual benefit, which includes deferral of salary, without commensurate return. It remains unclear where the impetus for the proposal came from, but its likely that the players would not have conceived of such an idea had they not been led to believe that the team could not afford or were not interested in Santana. According to the Associated Press, the Blue Jays $132.6 million salary for 2014 is the 10th-highest in the MLB, but its unknown if the team is willing to take on more salary if the need were to arise. The 31-year-old Santana eventually turned down a one-year, $14 million offer from the Jays to accept the same deal from the Atlanta Braves, who were looking to shore up their rotation following the loss of Kris Medlen to Tommy John surgery. He is scheduled to make his first start for the Braves on Wednesday night. Oscar Dansk Golden Knights Jersey .

Tomas Hyka Golden Knights Jersey .com) - The Toronto Raptors are paying Rudy Gay a visit on Wednesday night when they head into the Sleep Train Arena to take on the Sacramento Kings. Paul Thompson Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla.(SportsNetwork.com) - The Toronto Blue Jays came into their series with Boston hoping to get their playoff push back on track. Instead, the Jays will be trying to avoid a three-game sweep at the hands of the Red Sox in Wednesday nights finale. The Blue Jays had won 10 of their 13 meetings with the Red Sox this year coming into the set, but have dropped back-to-back extra-inning contests. Toronto has played four straight extra-inning games, going 1-3. Jose Bautista homered for the Jays on Tuesday to join Carlos Delgado and Joe Carter as the only players in club history to have at least five straight 25- homer seasons, but the effort went to waste as Boston plated seven runs in the 11th inning to claim an 11-7 decision. Casey Janssen (3-2) was charged with four runs -- three earned -- on two hits over his inning-plus relief stint. "This was tough," he said. "We lost another tough game in extra innings." Mike Napoli hit a three-run homer in the deciding frame and Allen Craig added a two-run shot in the 11th, big homers given that the Jays scored three runs in the bottom of the frame. "The ability to score multiple runs was key for us, to give us some breathing room," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "Nap with the huge swing on a three-- run homer, good to see Allen drive the ball out the other way, and we executed the small things.dddddddddddd" Boston has won consecutive games for the first time since a four-game win streak from Aug. 10-14, further putting its recent eight-game slide in the rearview mirror. Still looking for his first victory since joining the Red Sox, Joe Kelly takes the hill tonight. Kelly has gone 0-1 with a 4.09 earned run average in four starts since being acquired from St. Louis. He logged five innings of one-hit ball on Friday versus Seattle, walking three and striking out five in a no-decision as he exited after tweaking his shoulder. The 26-year-old righty has never faced the Blue Jays, who counter with rookie Marcus Stroman. The 23-year-old may be hitting a rookie wall since beating the Red Sox in back-to-back outings on July 24 and 29. He gave up one earned run and fanned 15 over 14 innings, lowering his season ERA to 3.03. However, that ERA has risen to 4.11 as he has gone 0-3 over his last four starts while getting charged with five earned runs in all three setbacks. The right-handed Stroman is coming off an 8-0 setback to Tampa Bay on Friday, charged with six runs -- five earned -- on 10 hits and three walks over five frames. That dropped him to 7-5 on the year.
