Plus I think they have many more arms in their system than elite, game-changing bats. Not everyday you get a perennial all-star like Fielder hit the open market and not be bidding against the Yankees and/or Red Sox.

Maybe but for the Jays to take the next step they need another Starter at the top of the rotation. Pitching has to the number 1 focus, Jays can bring up the young pitchers mid season etc...
Hitting and offense is a distant 2nd priority in my opinion
Not to mention, Fielder will reqire a crazy contract like Wells had to sign him.... doubt the Jays are interested.
