Toronto Blue Jays consider adding payroll before trade deadline

The Toronto Blue Jays enter Saturday's game against the Cubs with a record of 37-39, one game behind the final AL wild card spot. Despite ongoing injury issues, the team is open to taking on payroll at the trade deadline, as shared by Ken Rosenthal of 'The Athletic'. With a bloated payroll currently, the franchise faces a decision on whether to invest further in the lineup given its previous offseason spending of over $300 million. Experts suggest that, with no dominant teams in the American League, the Blue Jays may have a viable chance of making the playoffs.
