In my opinion, they must get Fielder. The jays are not that far away from contending, and it will only cost 1 draft pick to get him. Yes the dollars count as well, but you'd have to spend that to get someone like that anyway. Even if his body starts to suck in 5 years, we'd still get him while he's good while we're trying to contend.

There are no 1B prospects in the system, and Lind is not remotely good enough. On top of that, there are no 1B coming up in the next couple years in free agency (maybe Votto) and the other teams that would normally spend have 1B already. Plus if you got Fielder, you could likely flip Lind in a package to get a starter.

We do have a ton of pitchers coming up through the system, so we might not necessarily need any starters right now.
