Blue Jays 'intend' to give Melky Cabrera a qualifying offer

Jon Heyman tells us the not surprising at all news, that the Jays intend to give Melky Cabrera a qualifying offer and that they 'hope to keep him'.
After watching Kevin Pillar and Anthony Gose play the outfield for the last couple of weeks, I really really want the Jays to keep Melky too.

Word from someone familiar with the Blue Jays' thinking is that they are so pleased with Cabrera both on and off the field that it is an "easy decision" for them to make him a qualifying offer. Tor
