Sucks that a league rival gets stronger because of it but really the Jays did what they had to do.

They didn't have to sign Morales. They made two wrong judgements,
1. They thought the Market for EE would be stronger, and figured their 4X20 offer wasn't going to be enough.
2. The market for DH's in general would be stronger and they would miss out on a hitter.
No DH's/DH type players have been signed yet apart from Morales.
The Jays misjudged the market as bad as EE's agent.
Do I blame the Jays for moving on? No, it makes business sense and they were hedging the risk of having no one.
But that doesn't change the fact it was a mistake, and the team is worst next season with Morales instead of EE.
