Just to clarify, the 28 million for the Angels is for FREE AGENTS because it adds whats within the budget + cash the owner has to spend. In other words, these only work for free agency and NOT for trades. In trades, you can only trade with what is within your budget. For instance: Cubs have 7 million in budget + 10 million in cash I can only take on up to 7 million in a trade, but if I were to sign someone I can go up to 17 million. Makes sense?
Nice to know I got the toughest outlook of all the users. Gonna have to spend extra hours in the office. Look forward to the challenge
This sounds strange as I know the Dodgers last season shed a bunch of payroll cause McCourt was going through that bankruptcy. I'd like to know how these figures are calculated.
agreed, the angels and rangers having that much cash seems off to me as well. would love some sort of outside source that confirms all these numbers are correct.
