Mar 26 2019, 2:34 am

The Blue Jays are in an unfamiliar position for the 2019 season. After consistently running a payroll well in excess of $100 million, the Blue Jays are among the bottom-third in spending among MLB teams in 2019.

Overall, the Blue Jays have dialled back their spending over $40 million, trimming back their payroll 27% year-over-year. That includes close to $49 million devoted to paying Troy Tulowitzki, Russell Martin and Kendrys Morales not to play for the Blue Jays.
