The Toronto Blue Jays have a ton on current open roster spots and do have a solid amount of money to spend in free agency even if Ross Atkins does not want to increase the team's payroll.

The Blue Jays have one of the highest team payrolls in the MLB last season despite not making the playoffs which seems to mean they should look at increasing it this season but according to general manager Ross Atkins, the team wants to keep the same payroll.
The Jays had one of Major League Baseball's most expensive rosters this season and that figures to be the case again in 2025. With only one year of control remaining over Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette, there's no point in cutting back now. - Chisholm

Both Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins mentioned how they do not see the Blue Jays payroll increasing by much next season but if the team does in fact end up signing Juan Soto, the payroll will surely go up as it will be a massive contract plus they have other holes in need of filling.

«I don't see it being dramatically different next year,» Jays president Mark Shapiro said last week when asked about payroll. «I know that's not a precise number - not that I would ever give you one anyway - but I don't see either growing or decreasing it in a big way.»

The Blue Jays have about $115 million in guaranteed payroll as of right now and if they want to spend around the same amount, that gives them over $115 million that they will be able to spend this summer.
While this is a ton of money and should give them great options during free agency, they need to make the right choices and not offer contracts to just anyone.
