I don't think any 3 of those players, even combined are going to get you much. JPA is one of the worst catchers in the entire major league. I also really dislike the free agency method as you usually end up overpaying for talent and aged talent at that.
It is still far to early to give up on Travis Snider at 23. The Jays have a log jam in the outfield and have a severe lack of starting pitching. This is not just speaking this season but going forward the Jays need to add a quality arm to that rotation. I think Gose is expendable because we have no idea if that bat can even come close to hitting major league pitching. I really don't know just how much value he gives you at LF to be quite honest
