Blue Jays too cheap
At this point, it looks like four teams have a legit shot at winning the American League Eastern Division title. One of those teams: the Toronto Blue Jays, who found themselves 4.5 games out of first place late Wednesday night. The biggest question now is how long the Jays will stay in the race before fading out.
They'd probably be more competitive if the franchise was willing to pony up some more money on players. The Jays have one of the lowest payrolls in the game (about $45.7 million U.S.). Baseball is a money loser for parent company and Canadian corporate giant Rogers Communications. However, what's a $5 million U.S. loss compared to overall profits of $1.4 billion U.S.? Don't be so cheap!
