David Price's trade to the Blue Jays is more bad news for the Orioles

Say this for the Toronto Blue Jays: they’re going for it.

Two days after acquiring Troy Tulowitzki, a hitter they didn’t seem to need, the Blue Jays forked over top prospect Daniel Norris for two months of David Price, one of baseball's few unquestioned No. 1 starters.

For a team struggling with run prevention and running out soft-tossing Mark Buehrle as its ace, Price is a large, short-term upgrade who could improve the Blue Jays by a couple wins over the next two months. That might not sound like a lot, but given how crowded the wild-card race is and how unthreatening many of the opponents seem, two wins could make all the difference.
