Re: Toronto Blue Jays
They need a president to come in and ask Rogers to be able to spend the $189mill that teams can spend prior to the lux tax and then tell AA how much they can spend. That’s it. Or even asks to go over the $189mill threshold and get taxed only 17.5% because they’re first time violators I think.
They spend $200mill on payroll, they actually end up paying $235mill, and $35mill goes to the MLB fund or whatever. I think they finished the yr at $138mill at the end of this yr, but Price and Tulo were only like $7.5mill each because they were acquired at the deadline. So you got to add like $25mill to that number at that’s where they would be at if they resign Price at $20mill/yr (163), then the raises for the arbitration guys (let’s say 1mill/player so 7mill {I think theres’s 7 guys}) (170mill) then about a 14mill raise to Estrada (184mill).
If allowed, they could go around the same payroll. I’m also not removing guys that are leaving (Buerhle, Hawkins, Thole-I think, Navarro, Itzuris, Saunders maybe, Romero, Valencia, Morrow, Santos, and I think there’s one more retained salary guy off the books).
The Romero money is big, it’s like $7.5mill off the books.
