Well Upton doesn't hit for power or average. He's basically a Justin Smoak clone. The Jays can't start the season with two bench players starting at two of generally the highest offensive producing positions in baseball.
If there's no one out there to replace Bautista, you need to go big dollar value on a two year contract to Bautista. I can't see teams lining up to give him a 4-5 year contract after this year.
