Yeah the Jays are wandering around in no mans land right now.
They have money to spend, but FA's are wary because they don't have their core locked up and have a questionable immediate future. And that core has serious question marks anyways due to some very bad years recently. And the Jays always fight an uphill battle anyways as far as attracting high profile FA's to begin with because of location.
They may be forced into a rebuild after this season and may even blow it up mid season if they are out of the race again. That might be a better alternative though, rather than forking out over half a billion dollars over 15~ years to players like Vlad and Bo. They really haven't panned out to being what we thought they'd be just a few years ago.
