Makes sense, the Jays will have to wait until next week because the White Sox are not going to offer arbitration, and if the Jays sign him now, the Sox will say they were, and we lose our 1st and the sox get a sandwich pick as compensation.
That pretty much locks up the DH position.
If the Jays can swing the deal for Uggla, and perhaps sign a 1st baseman (or trade Lind in a package for one) then they should be good.
Also, it wouldn't surprise me if either Olivo or Buck are retained as well if they plan on trading Arencibia.
