SAN DIEGO — The Toronto Blue Jays' decision to send reliever Tommy Nance to the Minnesota Twins for a 21-year-old catching prospect is interesting on a couple of different levels.

First, and most obviously, the Blue Jays lose some relief depth, choosing instead to rely on the likes of Chad Dallas, who remains on the active roster even after the return of Braydon Fisher. But even without Nance, the Blue Jays “feel like we have capable guys to step in” and offer right-handed relief, according to manager John Schneider.

At the same time, this does not mean they’re about to start selling. Those large-scale decisions will come later, likely much closer to the Aug. 3 trade deadline.........
