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.

What is your definition of breaking the bank? For the past 3 years only, the Jays have had a payroll of about 122M. That's barely above average. Very little separating them from about ten other teams in and around that range. They aren't even in the stratosphere of the top 7 teams and that gap is going to even widen further after this offseason. Take a look at the list of 2015 payrolls below.
