They are not signing Fowler for the same reason.
This shouldn't be a surprise, it's was evident this was the plan before last season.
All that's left is for a big splash by trading Donaldson to NY !! ( I kid. That won't happen till next offseason!)

Shi Davidi has already said that he thinks the Jays are willing to lose the draft pick to sign Fowler. The major US media types are all reporting that the Jays are definitely pursuing Fowler so clearly the Jays are willing to give up the pick if they are that interested.
That doesn't mean the Jays will land Fowler though. Unless they are willing to trade Pillar, I think the Jays are going to have to vastly outbid everyone to convince Fowler to play a corner outfield position.
