At the end of the day it's still a minor league stadium, if you are getting similar money from two teams you are going to go with the team playing in a major league stadium.
Not to mention that most of these guys have families and having uncertainty about where the Jays will play next year would make tough for a family looking to plan housing and all the rest the goes with moving to a new team with a family in tow.
I am not saying that they won't get a big name, but the odds are stacked against them, and I think they will really have to overpay to get one of the big names.
