According to this Toronto Star report, Rogers is going to purchase the 20% share of the Jays it doesn't own from former majority owner Intebrew S.A. Given the share values mentioned in the article, it appears that Rogers' 100% share in the club is worth in the neighbourhood of $200-250 million. That seems like an awful lot to me, given that the team has reportedly lost $90 million U.S. over the past two seasons. Might this mean another reduction in payroll for 2005?
