No way he's making a move like this to save his job - ownership has a huge say in bringing in a guy like that. My guess is that Rogers will open the vault for him.
With the prospect pool being shallow now, it's almost a certainty that JB and/or EE will be dealt in the off-season. I'd say is a certainty. My only "complaint" about this deal is it may have come a little late. Now, time to get that #2 pitcher and it's a whole other ballgame.

The Jays do draft really well, similar to the Flames of late, so they can draft a bunch of new guys to re-stock the farm. I too wouldn't be shocked if JB or EE was dealt for prospects in the offseason, especially if they can replace them with solid players internally like Pompey/Alford/Smoak etc.
