The artificial hard turf and tax situations are probably the two biggest deterrents to FA's signing up north.
Anyway, back to the signing of Martin, I got to think about it and I really get this feeling that there was a second half to that signing - meaning the Jays trying to lure a big name pitcher. The Jays have a two year window to win it with this current lineup. It really makes sense to win now and luring a FA pitcher with a good catcher is probably AA's bait.
