Jays interested in Edwin Jackson

[Attonitus]

The Blue Jays are looking at other ways to build up their rotation depth, and have contacted the representatives for the recently released Edwin Jackson about joining the team on a minor-league deal. Beyond that, there’s always the potential for a waiver deal, although getting something done in August requires some luck.

Would love to acquire him again, especially on a minor league deal. Great insurance policy.

Wouldn't mind the gamble. Didn't have terrible numbers in very limited work this year but otherwise has not been good for the last 4 years or so.

Might as well have kept Felix Doubront.
Both guys are in similar situations. Only Doubront has proven to be a reliable insurance policy. Jackson has not.

Jackson is probably being looked on as a insurance starter who can also do bullpen work if needed. Same as Doubront. Who was traded for cash to Oakland. Odd move, but i guess its not a game changer anyway.
