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.

So that means the Jays have about $30 million more to spend still, with roughly $135 million committed at this point.

Biggest weaknesses at this point are the corner OF spots, and the bullpen, but the bullpen is actually got a decent back end on paper with Biagini, Osuna and Grilli.
