The Blue Jays really pushed the limits of their payroll last year in order to win the World Series... which they didn't. They are paying the price now.
Some experts are saying that had the worst offseason in the majors. Notable Losses Carney Lansford (FA) Kirk Gibson (Trade w OAK) Bert Blyleven (Trade w LAD) Buddy Bell (Trade w CWS) Robin Yount (FA) Terry Kennedy (Trade w MTL) Notable Additions Howard Richmond (Trade w CWS) Dave Winfield (Trade w OAK)
