Blue Jays deal League to Mariners

The Blue Jays have traded P Brandon League to the Seattle Mariners for P Brandon Morrow.  The deal isn't just 1-for-1 though, as a prospect is still yet to be named going to Seattle.  League, who was always thought of as the future closer, went 3-6, 4.58 ERA in 67 games last season.  Morrow, who took a no-hitter into the 9th in 2008 when he was only supposed to pitch 6 innings, will be a huge difference maker in the rotation if healthy.  Morrow, who was injured last season, went 2-4 with 6 saves making 10 starts in 2009.  Seattle has never been able to decide if he was going to close or start, but the Blue Jays like his upside as a starter.  It should be interesting to see if a big name prospect does in fact go to the Mariners though as League for Morrow straight up seems a little unfair.
