I did say "I don't really know how likely either one [new ownership or turfing the Argos, so to speak] is". Sorry for my inexact wording. I agree completely with you: it is very unlikely that Rogers will part with the Jays anytime soon. I'm far from an expert in such matters, but my understanding is that the Jays have very strong broadcast ratings, in fact, some of the strongest in the entire league. My understanding is that regional broadcast packages are driving revenue growth for teams, so the Jays' strength in this area is being negated by Rogers' ownership. It's a really awkward and unfortunate situation.
