Blue Jays: What could Rogers do with their saved payroll?
This season for the Toronto Blue Jays has been one of rebuilding and planning for the future. To no one’s surprise, their payroll has been slashed to the tune of $30 million compared to that of last season.
It’s hard to imagine, but if you look way back to 2011, that season the Blue Jays spent just under $73.5 million on their entire roster. In 2013 that number had almost doubled to over $131 million. By 2017 their payroll had topped out at $175.6 million in what would be the last hurrah for then the MLB’s oldest roster.
