The Jays were thwarted in their attempts to trade for right-hander Mat Latos and lefty Gio Gonzalez and obtain the rights to Japanese right-hander Yu Darvish. They still could sign a free agent, but are unlikely to acquire righty Matt Garza from the Cubs, major-league sources say.
Latos and Gonzalez both are under club control for four more years. Garza is under club control for only two more, and the Jays aren’t as willing to give up top prospects for a relatively short-term addition, sources say.
A free agent on a short-term deal would be more desirable, but the Jays do not appear especially interested in righties Hiroki Kuroda and Roy Oswalt. They also are unlikely to pursue righty Edwin Jackson, who reportedly is seeking a five-year, $60 million deal.
