The reason the Raptors and jays have had any trouble attracting people up here is because they have sucked.
The Jays had no trouble convincing the best American FA's to come up here when the team had a chance to win. Now that travel is so easy, money is big enough you can easily live in multiple locations and really TO is so close to an American city I can't see that the location is a problem.

And not only free agents. He was unable to sign some of his draft choices.
Now I don't totally believe JP cause AA was able to sign his draft pick this year. But it's not something to be totally ignored either so Latin American is still a good place to scout!
