Rays have a better team right now and better farm system. Add in the better GM and manager and they are likely to be as competitive if not better in the future. Sure they don't have the money but they have proven that they can compete and adapt to challenges, something the Jays have yet to do.
The Sox and Yankees are obviously much better right now and although the farm systems are not as strong they both have talent and the ability/money to make up any differences.
That puts the Jays in a struggle to be the 3rd best team in the division year after year with the hope that maybe once in every 5 years they can catch the Yankees or Red Sox in a down year.
Fielder et al. can go to the Cubs, Angels etc. and have a shot every year of winning the division or the wild card to make the play-off year after year and not worrying about getting that perfect season to make the play-offs.
