Original Toronto Star caption: Once upon a time, the entire Blue Jays payroll was $850,000. Yesterday, three Jays stars - from left, Tony Fernandez, Tom Henke and George Bell - were raising the ante considerably. Gold Glove shortstop Fernandez wants $940,000, the Jays offered $737,000. Reliever Henke wants $1,025,000, the Jays say $725,000. Outfielder Bell, the American League MVP, wants a cool $2,105,000, whereas the Jays are willing to part with only $1,725,000.
