The Jays have some interest in free agents Johnny Damon and Carlos Delgado.
Toronto general manager Alex Anthopoulos said that the team has had internal discussions about Damon, while manager Cito Gaston is lobbying for Delgado's return to the club.
Damon's price would likely have to come down a little more in order for the Jays to have serious interest.
The Mets are no longer a likely destination for Delgado after having agreed to a one-year deal with Fernando Tatis on Thursday.

Roberto Alomar regrets ever leaving the Blue Jays. During their rebuilding years, Alomar and the Jays were unable to reach a deal on a contract and he ultimately signed with Baltimore for a three-year, $18M contract in 1995.
"One of the things in my career that hurt me the most is leaving Toronto," said Alomar, who played five years with the Blue Jays and was a key component of their back-to-back World Series championships in 1992 and 1993. "To me Toronto is my second home, is still my second home."
