Until the Atlanta meltdown I really believed they would make it.

I think the arbi guys will cost about 6 mil . That takes them to 72 . Of those 72 take 5-10 for in season moves and you have in reality between 62-67 to use before the start of the season . Stroman is staying  That’s why o said earlier a lot less money available than what we thought before this season started .

Stroman's salary is already in that 78 million number.  If he opts out, it frees up his money, taking it to 100 million without arb guys.

enjoy Belli while you can?

PCA is not ready for prime-time, his decision-making is terrible, still a low baseball IQ he clearly needs to develop.  He needs a year in AAA.  They likely won't re-sign Belli but they need a stopgap.  PCA can learn on the job in MLB I guess but it's not going to be pretty, seems like a waste.
