Then you have to factor in the arb raise for Ellsbury, Bard, and Buchholz. And Youk, Lester and Pedey become expensive next season. Granted, that doesnt raise the lux tax, but it does raise the payout from the sox. a700, I highly, highly doubt the sox sign Reyes. Their lineup is loaded and they have Lowrie, Navarro and Iglesias waiting in the wings. Assuming one of those guys can put up a .700OPS, they wont have a huge need for a guy like Reyes.
