As a long term Jays fan, I am completely disgusted. It shows that there is
Nothing this team or its fans can do to get Rogers to change their line of thinking. All the Rogers apologists on here like to point to them being a top ten team in payroll, but realistically that doesn't mean much when there's not 15 M in payroll separating the 9th place team from the 20th. Around 15 million separates the 20th ranked team from the Blue Jays in 2015. 50 millions separates the Jays from even being in the top 5 in payroll so realistically the Jaya aren't spending that much when you put it into perspective.

We'll see how it looks as the off-season in baseball is continuous.
Reading the discussion above I think Rogers has been burned twice by opening the bank for mediocre GMs. Opened the bank for JP Riccardi and AA and it's burned them with 0 playoff appearances (the Jays playoff run came after Rogers decided to basically fire AA and close the books).
So the cycle continues and now the budget is tight again. That doesn't mean it's a bad team. Great offense and the pitching needs a few tweaks. Let's see how the rest of the off-season plays out. Lots of FA's still out there.
