But continue the smear campaign on the Blue Jays & Rogers.
Come on. The only teams that continue to have articles like this posted about them are the New York Yankees, the Red Sox, the Giants, the Dodgers, etc. But guess what? These teams actually sign the guy they are linked to more often that not.

Name me one single player the Jays have been linked to in the past 10 years that they actually went out and signed. You can't name one. Even the guys they do sign like Martin are completely out of left field.

Listen to MLB radio some time and listen to them talk about the Jays being in on someone. It starts with "Reports out of Toronto say they are in on X", quickly followed by a discussion by the experts (not on Rogers payroll) of "X does not fit in to the Blue Jays budget, ownership will not allow them to increase it, and this is an unsubstantiated rumour from a local reporter".
