looks like your team is goign to be able to compete with the big boys in the very near future. The Jays have sold the naming rights of SkyDome and the new owner of the now Rogers Centre has allocated $21o million for payroll....

yeah but part of that has to go towards the cleaners, beer guys, popcorn guys, trainers, plumbers, maids, etc.... so after all that they have $209,900,000 only.

just to clarify, it's $210M over the next 3 years.

yeah, but its still a big jumo from their current $50 mill payroll....they can actually keep some of their own players and compete for free agents too

Phew. Thanks, I was worried that the AL East would have an $800 million payroll and that the Tampa ownership would spontaneously combust.

It's too bad they just decided this because they've got a good looking team so far. If they had another $20 million this year like they will the next few, they could have gone after a few arms. Now the top players have all been picked and they really need some new pitchers. It is exciting though... finally something to look forward to.
