Per Jason Stark on SportsCenter. Presumably one less team to trade for Burnett.

The A's get Sean Gallagher, Matt Murton, Eric Patterson and Josh Donaldson.

Seven Cubs and seven Red Sox were selected to the two sides. Roy Halladay is the only Jay selected to play as Shaun Marcum misses the cut, and a record three Canadians make the team - Ryan Dempster, Justin Morneau and Russell Martin. Also, apparently they take about 32 players per league now, which seems like an awful lot.

Sportsnet reports the following:

The Toronto Blue Jays fired manager John Gibbons on Friday, along with three coaches including Ernie Whitt and hitting coach Gary Denbo and replaced him with 1992 and 1993 World Series winning manager Cito Gaston.

Along with Gibbons, coaches Marty Pevey, Ernie Whitt and Gary Denbo were fired as well. Gaston will be in uniform tonight, alongside first base coach Dwayne Murphy, third base coach Nick Leyva and hitting coach Gene Tenace.

World Series hero and likely Hall of Fame ("should he be?" is another question) RHSP Curt Schilling will have season-ending surgery next week and admits he could be done with his career, too.

The Boston Herald has the full story here.

Your thoughts, Bauxites?

The Blue Jays signed 27 draftees, including top pick David Cooper.

Cooper was the first 1st rounder to sign, getting a reported $1.5MM signing bonus.

Ken Griffey Jr has just become the sixth man in major league history to hit 600 career homers.

If you haven't been paying attention for the last three hours, well, uh, a lot of things are different.

John Smoltz will undergo season-ending surgery next week.  He's 41 years old, and we may have seen the last of him.

Boston behemoth Manny Ramirez -- that's "Man-Ram" to mortals like you and me -- hit his 500th home run today, becoming the 24th major leaguer to get to that milestone. You know what?

Yawwwwn.

Okay, that's an exaggeration. But seriously ...

Hey, the guy beat cancer. Anyone surprised Jon Lester can no-hit a big league ballclub?
