Ian is at $136M but Raley and Rucker will be non tendered so that is another $4M.

What do you mean by "payroll room"? Does that actually exist with this ownership group?

see where the Dbacks owner Ken Kendrick has stated they will be lowering payroll
“You don’t spend the money just to spend the money. You spend the money you think is appropriate to put a winning club on the field, and I think we can put a winning club on the field based on some of the high-dollar players going away that’s going to be very competitive.”

They were at $168M to end the season. They are going to exceed that a bit just to say they raised raised it again. So that is about $40M of "room"

That whole "2026 crest" thing didn't turn out to be all that cresty.

Just more BS from Traitor Jerry to hide the fact they were just going to pocket the savings from the "step back".

On second thought I wouldn't be surprised if they landed at about $150M an blame the lockout for not having enough time to get back to $168M
