				The Toronto Blue Jays will carry a budget of approximately $165 million to start the 2017 season, a 20 percent increase from the starting payroll in 2016, sources told TSN's Rick Westhead. 
 
To end the 2016 season, the Blue Jays ranked 13th in total team salary with a mark of $115.9 million, according to ESPN. With arbitration players included, the team operated at roughly $135 million last year. 
 
With the increased budget, Toronto will have some more wiggle room to sign marquee players.
