Blue Jays Rumors: Scutaro, Cabrera, Brignac

Jeff Blair of the Globe and Mail has the latest on the Blue Jays in the aftermath of this morning's signing:

• The Blue Jays will offer Marco Scutaro salary arbitration. Blair hears indications that the shortstop may have a three-year deal coming his way.
• The Jays made a serious run at Orlando Cabrera, but decided against a deal since it would have taken a commitment of about $12MM and two years. The Jays like Cabrera, but have concerns about the former Gold Glover's range and arm.
• Cabrera's agent is telling teams that his client is ready to play second base. The Twins may have interest in re-signing Cabrera to play second.
• The Jays spoke to the Rays about Reid Brignac, but felt Tampa was asking for too much.
• Blair wonders if Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos will try to trade Gonzalez at next summer's trade deadline if the shortstop starts the year well.
