Blue Jays: Spending wisely on contracts during the rebuild

Have you ever heard the term, enjoy the reaps now, pay for the sins later? Well guess what, we are paying for them now.

Let’s stomach this for a brief second here, we are paying Troy Tulowitzki a cool $20 million this year to play for the cash strapped down on their luck New York Yankees. Forget for a brief second that they are one of the richest franchises in professional sports, but there Blue Jays are paying approximately $20 million just so he can play for our Lex Luthers of the AL East.

It had to be done, the Jays needed to do lt so guys like Bo Bichette and Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
