It has never been confirmed that the Jays offered on Darvish. General concensus is that they didn't despite yapping in the media leading up to the event. They immediately switched their attention to Gio Gonzalez and Matt Garza after they "lost out" on Darvish. In true Jays fashion though, that was them throwing #### up against the media wall and seeing what sticks. They landed it neither, and Matt Garza was on record saying the Jays never even contacted him despite their desire expressed in the media. Here's an article on the Darvish situation. Amazing that AA says in the article he was going to have to get creative to sign a pitcher when according to you he didn't work under any financial contrainsts.
