Recent reports from MLB Trade Rumors suggest that the Blue Jays are open to dealing the 41-year-old Dickey, who has one year and $12 million remaining on his contract. Toronto general manager Ross Atkins, however, told Jim Bowden on MLB Network Radio that he is not actively shopping Dickey.
MLB Trade Rumors writer Brad Johnson speculated that the Blue Jays have to be close to landing a deal with a free-agent starter like Wei-Yin Chen or Yovani Gallardo before seriously considering a Dickey deal.
If R.A. Dickey is indeed available, he could be an interesting addition to the KC Royals staff.
