I will miss EE like hell but I don't see a reasonable scenario where you have him and Morales on the same roster. Getting Pearce is an astute move by the Jays IMO.
I think the Jays game plan is pretty clear. Get veterans on short term contracts who can help us win in the immediate future, but avoid LT deals to prevent our top prospects from being blocked (Vlad Jr., Tellez, Urena). This should allow us to maintain the competitive window and allow for budget flexibility when the prospects push for roster spots.
