They can't replace them in whole so they're kicking tires on guys that can replace them in the aggregate... with managed playing time. It's not optimal but if you want to build sustained success it's what they have to do.

They need to move on from that type of player totally. There are plenty of available players out there that can fill those holes, especially in the outfield. Focusing on a 39 year old because they can get him on a one year one contract is ridiculous.
A team that has a clear timeline to win that is a couple players away from winning a championship with the revenues the Jays have need not be kicking tires on guys that can be for a one year contract. We shouldn't be running our team like we are the Tampa Bay Rays or Milwaukee Brewers here.
