I really don't see it straight up as EE versus Morales.

I think the FO really wanted Fowler. They wouldn't have been able to sign both Fowler and EE, there simply would not have been enough money.

When EE took his time to accept, Jays moved on to Morales to at least cover the DH spot, and then focused on Fowler.

That's how I see it based on everything the FO and Gibbons said in terms of what they wanted to address in the offseason.

Sucks for them that the Cardinals blew them out of the water with the pricing on Fowler.

If the Jays had landed Fowler and Morales, I don't think people would be lamenting the loss of EE and Bautista.
