I have a hard time believing that the Jays figured EE would have accepted the 4/80 early offer. To me it just feels like they made the offer in order to be able to say "hey we tried". As soon as he rejected they then moved on where they were likely headed all along....without EE.

Basically the early offer seems like nothing more than a PR exercise. If he accepted, great...but they were already in plan B mode even when they made the offer.
