I think plan B is now to continue collecting assets, building prospect capital and to keep on building from within.
While accelerating the rebuild would have been outstanding, its not really neccessary IMO because the Jays have grade A prospects all over the daimond except for the outfield.
Another year and the current young MLBers will hopefully grow, the key prospects will be a year closer, they'll add another high end prospect at 5th overall and most importantly the big arms in the system will continue to inch their way towards the majors.
Hopefully next there is enough growth that they start to become a more desirable destination for FAs once again.

Could still be outstanding. The Wil Myers situation is there for the taking, and as many darts that you can throw at the pitching board, the better. San Diego would likely thank you for helping them out, and you would have capitol with them in the future when positions are reversed.
As Jason said, it comes down to cheapness.
