The Blue Jays are historically very low on free agents list of desired destinations. Yet when we have guys like Encarnacion, Donaldson, Happ and now Stroman; pretty damn good players and guys who all loved playing in Toronto and wanted to be a Blue Jay, get shipped out or not re-signed I find it very frustrating. This is all compounded by the fact that they are going this cash-efficient route despite being owned by a family worth billions. The Jays have every reason to act like a large market team and sign players to what they're worth yet they're behaving like a penny pinching small market franchise. That is my biggest beef with the Jays.

Not to mention, the Jays literally have the biggest market in the entire MLB.
