I get i will be very much on my own here but honestly when you look big picture I prefer Morales at the deal he got than giving 4 years and 80 mill plus to Edwin. I think the gap between Morales to EE will shrink with Morales at Rogers center and I think when you factor in contract value and the fact he is a switch hitter I don't think its the massive upgrade to EE alot of people think.
Now obviously if EE ends up signing for much less the Jays won't look very good but personally i'm happy with how things have gone so far. EE is the better bat for sure i'm not arguing he isn't, but I think all things considered Morales is a good get too. I think many are under estimating how important it is to add a switch hitter into the middle of the lineup and balance the lineup out.
