Its a league wide thing obviously, not just a Jays thing, but updated as frequently as it can with quick and dirty updates.
As far as the Fielder thing goes, I agree that landing the big name isn't always the most prudent thing. That said, it appears there's more then a fleeting interest in (no more than) a 5 year deal from the Jays, so the player isn't in question.
All I said that the general casual Jays fans' perception of the willingness of Rogers to spend the money, after the GM says they are interested in Fielder, will be a poor one if he lands somewhere else for reasonable $. That naturally leads to skepticism of the entire organization going forward and true commitment to winning, no matter how much AA does in outshining fellow GMs on the smaller transactions. Rightly or wrongly, until the team makes the playoffs.
