How do you know that? Do you have any evidence at all that Iwakuma had a hard preference for the Dodgers?
The speculation was that Price wanted to play in LA too. Turns out he'd rather have played in Toronto.
You always seem to have an excuse for the Jays, Discoverer. Without fail.
Iwakuma was also said to prefer the West Coast.
I admit that I'm making some assumptions, but Iwakuma preferred the West Coast, then signed with a team on the West Cost, then played there for four years, and is now signing to stay there. I don't think it's a stretch to say that's where he wanted to play.
The last few years, the Jays have generally made moves that I agree with (or, at least, ones that I understand). I would have loved to see Price in Toronto, but, given the abundance of high-end talent on the roster, I understand the desire to diversify the risk and raise the floor.
I don't have to make excuses when I think they're making smart moves, and you won't see me trying to explain moves I don't like or understand.
