The Big Hurt, eh?

The Toronto Blue Jays finalized a deal with Frank Thomas at $18 million for two years.

The first move for the team north of the border, it signals, according to many, their desire to contend more signifiantly for the top of the AL East.

The move also protects the Jays should Vernon Wells, and his big bat, depart for another team.

The contract also includes a $10 million option for the 2009 season.
