Well, that's where we are not sure about what Kennedy meant.
He may very well have been hinting at staying under the line again, and that would mean about $28M to spend, not the $40M we spent. last winter...
$10M Richards
$8M Ottavino
$7M Kike (x 2)
$6M Perez
$3M Renfroe
$3M Marwin
$2M Andriese
$1M Sawamura (x 2)
(BTW, we could trade Renfroe and Vaz and add $14M to the $28M and get close to last winter's spending budget. We can find the next Renfroe for $3M. Or, we can DFA Plawecki and trade Renfroe and get to about a $38M spending budget.)
