I know how far out this sounds, but... I do not believe this trade was made by Jack alone. This trade has Howie and Chuckie's fingerprints all over it.
Howie just got tired of hearing how bad Morrow was when compared to Linecum, and thus Morrow had to go before Timmy won another CY award.
There is no way that Jack and crew turn down Edwin Jackson, make the comments about said trade afterward, and trade for a reliever who has yet to have 2 healthy and above average seasons in a row, that has a career 4.09 ERA, Career FIP 4.30, has a higher HR/9 rate than Morrow the reliever, has a 3+BB/9 ratio, and by many accounts from those in Toronto has crumbled in high pressure situations. Unless something DRASTICALLY happens, there is NO WAY that League EVER becomes a closer.
