After a day to digest this, I think perhaps the biggest impact this will have is the positive PR for the Jays.
The excitement around this team has been building during the Anthopolous era, and you just knew that as soon as the moment came where they went out and added top notch talent the fans would come pouring in and support the hell out of this team.
That moment has come now. No more excuses. No more blaming Boston and New York for being big market, high payroll teams. The Jays ownership just made a statement and the fans will certainly stand up and take notice.
I fully expect the Rogers Centre to be as electric as it's been in years next season.
