Have you listened to a Sportsnet radio or TV show? You would think the Jays just let Scott Bowman at the end of his 5 year Cup run with the Canadians go with the way they are talking about AA. Throw in the crap they are spewing about Shapiro and its hard to see how they are in any way being muzzled by Rogers.

2- The Jays reputation is absolute #### across the league with players and agents. What little goodwill they've built from this run and the trades that looked to be a shift in culture to that of an organization willing to do what it takes to win, is now completely gone out the window. There's not a free agent in their right mind that would sign in Toronto after having seen AA going from jumping up and down with champaign bottles with the players, to walking away less than a month later.

BS
Free Agents go where the money is. Florida has crapped on players and fans more than any other organization and they signed Buerhle, Reyes and Stanton to FA deals recently. If Rogers is willing to pay they will get FA's, if not they won't. That has zero to do with keeping AA this year or not.
