He's had some injuries so the turf could be a bit tough on him, but I thought he was a guy the Jays might make a play for because the term and dollars wouldn't be crippling and he could have an out of nowhere 40 homer 100 RBI season if things broke right for him.

If you mixed him in the lineup inside a group of Giminez/varsho/wagner/roden he'd get a lot of AB vs lefty relievers.
I think trying to sign guys who want to be here (Canadians, etc) is an underrated strategy. If you can find guys you don't have to overpay that helps a lot.
