The Blue Jays have always been an interesting case when it comes to how they have handled their payroll over the years. While the last six seasons represent the highest numbers of the franchise’s short history, bigger spending hasn’t always been the way things operated in Toronto.
In 2018 the Blue Jays have ranked 11th in baseball in spending according to www.spotrac.com, sitting at a number of $150,890,477, which is good for 6th in the American League as well. While there will always be an argument for ownership to open their ridiculously deep pockets some more, 150 million is nothing to sneeze at.
