Finding pitchers through free agency will be interesting though like many posters have said the trade route might make the most sense for them.
One of Edwin, Troy or Jose will maybe get you a starting pitcher.

I think Jose is the most likely option to be traded. One year contract and can play the field so he appeals to both AL and NL teams. Edwin has had a lot of injuries and is limited to DH, and Tulowitzky's contact is very limiting.
I would not miss Bautista. I'll forever remember that homer against Texas, but the guy is a first rate #######. The way he carries himself, in my opinion, really hurts the Jays with the umpires. People can say they wouldn't hold that against the Jays because they are professionals, but I just don't believe that. These guys are human, and having this guy show them up every inning and from the outfield isn't doing the Jays any favours.
