Jays and Mariners trade

[Daniel]

Jays give:

Justin Upton 6.5m 2y
Colby Lewis 5.5m 2y  (I will pay 3m this year and 2m next year)
Kawasaki, Munenori  0.5m 1y

for the M's

Yan Gomes spec 2y
Matt Dominguez spec 3y

We do this to get younger and to clear some cap room. Sad to see Upton and Lewis go after only one season, but the Jays now have surplus pitching and a variety of useful OFs, while a gaping hole in the C position and a lot of question marks at CI with ARod definitely out for the season plague the team.

Mariners to confirm. Thanks for the quick negotiations.
