Financially, it makes sense for Rogers.
I just don't know if it makes sense for Ohtani. Also, do players want to play for a team that is run by analytics? Every player saw the Berrios fiasco. Ohtani's buddy Kikuchi was involved in it too. I can't imagine stuff like that sells very well.
I'd be shocked if the Jays land any of the prize free agents. They will get the scraps at an over market price though.

Teams don't get jersey sale money other than retail markup in their stadium stores.
