There are times when a team in need and an available free agent make too much sense not to happen. Take Josh Bautista returning to the Blue Jays this offseason as an example, him going elsewhere ultimately didn’t make sense for either party.
This type of scenario may be developing with Angel Pagan, the Puerto Rican outfielder who curiously remains on the free agent market, deep into March. His match with the Jays makes enough sense that the rumour just doesn’t want to go away.

We’ve covered the idea a couple times here at Jays Journal, looking at all the reasons that he makes sense in John Gibbons’ lineup.
