One thing worth pointing out that peole are also missing too that currently with the Canadian Dollar a payroll of 140 million US is the equivilant to 190 Million Canadian. To start last year the same 140 Million payroll would have been in the 160million dollar range. So I dont' agree that they arn't reinvesting that money becuase in order to jsut keep the payroll the same they have to reinvest a huge chunk of that "profit".
Rodgers isn't perfect, no corporate ownership is, and sure I would prefer a private owner who was more willing to lose money but who stepped up do that? They arn't the best owner but they are far from terrible IMO.

As has been mentioned multiple times in this thread, Rogers is a very large multinational corporation and would be hedged om multiple fronts against any foreign currency fluctuations. The exchange rate is a mute point in tbe short term.
That said, the share of the playoff Revenue The Jays got from MLB was in USD.
