"It's not as if the Blue Jays can find an established closer on any street corner.

Well, maybe a Street in Huston.

The Jays have spoken to the Colorado Rockies about closer Huston Street.

Street, 27, converted 29 of 33 (88%) save chances this season for the Rockies. He was 1-4 with a 3.86 ERA, walking only nine men and fanning 55 in 58 1/3 innings.

Next season Street will earn $7.5 million U.S. He has a player option of $9 million for 2013, which he can walk away from. If the team decides to buy out Street there is a $500,000 buyout.

Street, a former first rounder, was selected 40th over all in 2004 — eight picks after the Jays chose lefty Zach Jackson with their second first-round pick (lefty David Purcey was their first)."
