They won't be changing their mind now that's it's topping $700MM if true.
Jays can't go that high within any reason. Yanks there to drive up the Mets, no way can they pay Soto that much more than Judge.
But Soto was unique in that he seemed to care most about money, which is why the Jays were in, and less so about the "moving to Canada" and everything else that the Jays are up against, perception wise. And they had Vlad who is friendly with Soto.
But some of the other top guys, who the Sox, Dodgers and Mets or Yankees will go after hard after they miss out on Soto, may well have some of those reservations about Canada, no matter how well the Jays treat players and their families.
