The Jays have spent 6 million in confirmed contracts (the ones the media knows the salaries for) and an additional 3 million in the rumoured contracts.
The record for most spent in one year by any team is just a shade over 13 million, which if the Jays sign McGuire to a 2.5 million dollar contract (which is about what he'd get), then they'll be really close to that figure without signing anyone else.
Prior to the season they said they'd spend 16 million on the draft.
