TSN (Rick Westhead), now also reporting Jays budget will remain unchanged from previous year. Will be around 125m again. This would currently pu them at the 10-11 spot in MLB and not even in the stratosphere of the top 6. Says Rogers will point towards exchange rate to Justify.

If they keep the same budget, by the seasons starts their budget is likely to be in the lower half of the league as player salaries are escalating and the other teams in their range are expected to spend.

I don't expect Toronto to spend like the Dodgers or Yankees, but they can and should be spending more when it makes sense. It makes sense now. This is not a small market team.
