Jays have had a number of significant free agents sign here over the years. Maybe not superstars, but that's the case for most teams.
The Jays are a huge disadvantage, simply because they're the only Canadian team. Americans can stomach coming here for a series or a few in case of AL East teams, but to spend all that time travelling here thru customs 2 or 3 times a week for 6 months is not ideal.

Also the pandemic showed the border can easily get closed and they're stuck here and can't be with their families.

It was very well illustrated with the displeasure the American hockey players showed during covid.

Canadian dollar started dropping like a rock now, and Canadian teams pay the players in USD.
