Jays has the 2nd best ERA and 7th best wRc+ in the majors this year (and 5th and 6th in wRc+ is STL and LAA, who might not even make the playoffs). They are a contending team this year, so no need to sell the farm for upgrades at the margins.

Jays yes have the pitching, however they don't have the offense.
team already acquired a rental with Hicks, Jays have several players who are likely to leave in the off season,
They have a limited window,
As for their depth, Jays don't have a strong prospect pool.
