Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports had an interesting tweet this evening, “Overbay left #Jays game. Source says there has been trade interest lately. Stay tuned.”

Could the Toronto Blue Jays be working on a trade involving Lyle Overbay? Overbay cleared waivers earlier this month, so the Blue Jay are free to negotiate with other teams regarding a trade. Morosi previously said that he would be a good fit for the Tampa Bay Rays, but now that the team signed Brad Hawpe, they may not have a need for Overbay’s bat.

Heading into today’s game, Overbay was hitting .248/.355/.430 with 16 home runs and 56 RBIs. He’s being paid $7 million for the 2010 season, so any team that acquires him now will be responsible for about $1 million. He’ll be a free agent after this year.
