It's just money in an uncapped sport.
What's the difference between 45million and 65 million if they really wanted the player? Fans want to see results. Rogers are bazillionaires. What if the Blue Jays are 2nd best in the Fielder sweepstakes too?
If the Jays get nobody and the payroll is the same as last year.. is there hope?

Without a doubt IMO.
Let's remember, this is a team that was competitive last year with a very shaky bullpen and a very patchwork rotation. Everyone is back and to that you're adding a full season of Lawire and Rasmus, a legit closer in Santos and hopefully Alvarez sticks as a starter full time. Then you've got a good half dozen canditates for the last two spots in the rotation and one of the deepest prospect pools in baseball. I would absoulutely feel there is hope if the Jays didn't pick up one more player this whole offseason (which is hightly unlikely I might add).
Sucks to lose out on Darvish but I think it's a bit much to question the team when we don't know the facts. How do you konw that AA didn't tell Rogers that he wanted nothing to do with Darivsh and that he felt it was the wrong move for the club? This may have nothing to do with Roger's parameters and maybe AA felt that Darvish was only worth 40 million..
