Hoping this isn't the only bat we add, however.

If they plan to mostly use Turner at DH (Morosi expects him to be the primary DH), I guess the Jays are out on Soler because he can’t be an everyday fielder.
The lineup still desperately needs a power bat to give Vladdy protection - we can’t have a rotating group of non power bats in the clean up position like last year. Turner is very good hitter but he’s a 20-25 home run guy and the Jays need a 30-40 home run guy.
