Another possibility the Jays are reportedly looking at is acquiring Andrew Bailey from the Oakland A's.

Really hoping the Jays don't give up their top draft pick for a free agent reliever, knowing they will also be breaking the bank to do so, just not worth it on either front.

Andrew Bailey would be a nice pickup although his health is a bit of a concern. I'm late with this one but I also think way higher of Gio Gonzalez than many. I think he's easily a 20 game winner on a better offensive team the last two years running and a better starter than CJ Wilson the top FA pitcher on the market.
