Yeah, this seems pretty obvious at this point.
I can see why Bautista & Co. are so upset especially after a bunch of guys were willing to re-structure their contracts to give the Jays cash to make a run at Ervin Santana. I'm sure the response from ownership at the time was that we can't afford to sign Santana because it won't give us any flexibility during the season. Then the Jays go silent at the deadline in spite of major injury issues and it's understandable that guys are pissed.
