| |  | TORONTO: TORONTO (AP) - All winter long, the Blue Jays' primary concern was upgrading the starting pitching. The biggest story in Toronto this spring, though, is the one about the free agent arm that got away.
After months of inaction, the Blue Jays thought they'd landed right-hander Ervin Santana on a one-year deal in early March. But when injury concerns flared up in Atlanta, Santana signed a similar deal with the Braves instead.
''I think it's pretty obvious we were involved, it didn't work out. I'm trying to take the high road here,'' general manager Alex Anthopoulos said after Santana turned him down, saying he'd rather pitch in a spacious National League park than face AL East foes in Toronto's hitter-friendly dome.
Anthopoulos, who'd previously come ''extremely close'' to acquiring a starter through trade, must now start the season with almost the same staff he took north last year. Right-handed knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, the 2012 NL Cy Young winner, will be the opening-day starter again, while left-hander Mark Buehrle gets the third slot.
But none of the other three leading contenders, right-handers Brandon Morrow and Drew Hutchison, and left-hander J.A. Happ, have ever pitched 200 innings, and all three are coming off injuries. Morrow was limited to 10 starts last year by a nerve problem in his forearm, Hutchison hasn't pitched in the majors since elbow surgery in 2012, and Happ missed most of 2013 after being hit in the head by a line drive. Happ dimmed his own chances with an awful spring.
Santana, who has topped the 200-inning mark five times, would have given the Blue Jays valuable depth. Without him, there's more chance they'll need starts from touted but untested youngsters like Kyle Drabek, Sean Nolin, and Marcus Stroman.
Still, a confident Dickey insisted Santana would have been more ''bonus'' than ''necessity'' to Toronto. ''I feel like we have what we need,'' he said.
| | NY YANKEES: NEW YORK (AP) - Derek Jeter is saying goodbye. Masahiro Tanaka is saying hello.
Jacoby Ellsbury, Brian McCann and Carlos Beltran are new to the Bronx; David Robertson is new to the closer's role. And Alex Rodriguez is nowhere to be seen.
Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte have retired, and Robinson Cano has moved to Seattle.
After missing the playoffs for only the second time in 19 years, the New York Yankees will look a whole lot different. And for the first time since 1998, they don't have baseball's highest payroll.
''I think it is probably the biggest transition I've been through,'' manager Joe Girardi says.
For only the second time in team history and the first time since 1947, every position on opening day other than the mound will be manned by a different Yankees player on opening day than in New York's previous opener.
New York's forgettable 2013 season began with an 8-2 loss to Boston, with Kevin Youkilis at first, Cano at second, Eduardo Nunez at shortstop, Jayson Nix at third, Francisco Cervelli behind the plate, Vernon Wells in left, Brett Gardner in center and Ichiro Suzuki in right.
The only holdover for Tuesday's opener at Houston figures to be Gardner, who has shifted to left. The rest of the starting lineup figures to have McCann behind the plate, Mark Teixeira at first, Brian Roberts at second, Jeter at shortstop, Kelly Johnson at third, Ellsbury in center and Beltran in right.
CC Sabathia will be the constant on the mound. He's coming off the poorest of his 13 major league seasons at 14-13 with a 4.78 ERA.
''Nobody wants to go through that again,'' he says. ''It sticks with me a lot. Just being disappointed in not being able to help this team win. I feel like if I could have been a little better we might have made the playoffs. I blamed myself for a long time in the offseason and now I'm over it and ready to go this year.

*Blue Jays-Yankees Preview* ===========================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
Toronto (54-50) at New York (54-48), 1:05 p.m. EDT
After ending a lengthy losing streak at Yankee Stadium, the Toronto Blue Jays will look to accomplish something else that's proven elusive there in recent years - win a series.
Toronto takes on the New York Yankees on Sunday seeking just a second series victory in its last 12 tries in the Bronx.
The Blue Jays (55-50) had dropped 17 straight road games versus New York since Aug. 29, 2012 prior to Saturday's 6-4 victory, which pulled them back into a second-place tie in the AL East with the Yankees. The victory in the Bronx two years ago was part of their only series win in their last 11 at Yankee Stadium.
Dan Johnson drove in four runs, including three on a ninth-inning homer, his first since Oct. 3, 2012, when he went deep three times for the White Sox at Cleveland.
"We were trying anything," Johnson said of the Blue Jays, who skipped batting practice before each of the past two games. "Just to kind of change the feeling, the mojo here."
Toronto, which had plated four runs or fewer in each of its previous 14 games at Yankee Stadium, is batting .323 while averaging 6.2 runs over a 4-1 stretch. Jose Bautista, who hit his 20th double Saturday, is 9 for 17 in that span, while Melky Cabrera and Dioner Navarro are each 8 for 20.
J.A. Happ (8-5, 4.55 ERA) will try to nail down the series after shutting Boston out for six innings in a 7-3 victory on Tuesday.
"It might have been his best outing of the year," manager John Gibbons said.
The left-hander owns a 7.52 ERA over his last six road games and is 2-2 with a 5.22 ERA in seven career starts versus the Yankees, though he held them to one run and four hits over seven-plus innings without a decision in a 4-3 loss on Sept. 18.
Carlos Beltran, who homered for the second straight game Saturday, is 7 for 20 off Happ with three home runs. Derek Jeter, batting .353 during an eight-game hitting streak versus Toronto, is 6 for 11 off Happ.
The Yankees (54-49) will be turning to rookie Shane Greene (2-1, 2.79) after a rough performance in his first career home start Monday. Greene limited Cleveland and Baltimore to a combined two runs over 13 1-3 innings in his first two starts, but committed three errors and needed 113 pitches to get through 5 2-3 innings while giving up four runs in a 4-2 loss to Texas. He threw seven fewer pitchers over 7 1-3 innings in his previous outing at Baltimore.
"I think I was just rushing a little bit," Greene told MLB's official website. "I wasn't exactly making the pitches I wanted to make, and they took advantage of it."
Rookies are 5-3 with a 4.89 ERA in 10 starts against Toronto this year. New York's Masahiro Tanaka and Chase Whitley accounted for three of those victories.
The Blue Jays haven't won consecutive road games since a six-game winning streak from May 20-June 5. They've since gone 6-16 away from Toronto.
