The blockbuster deal sent the Twitter-sphere into a frenzy, as media members, players and fans alike exploded with digital excitement. Here’s a compilation of reactions from that you need to see, including reactions from Price and other Blue Jays players, who are more than excited.

And in case people forgot, Price made a plea to Jays’ fans back in 2012 when he asked them to fill up the Dome. Well, I think he’ll certainly help that cause.
lol with all this Jays talk from everyone, does this mean people are coming to games now?! I've always wanted to see that place packed

Although the MLB Trade Deadline isn’t until 4 pm on Friday, I think it’s safe to say that Jays’ GM Alex Anthopoulos will undoubtedly sit atop the MLB “trade throne”.
