I listened to the whole podcast. It should like the $16M available is more of there estimate based on what the have done in terms of increasing payroll the past couple season. They said a range of $14-17M. That is about what I expect too. Have to keep those profit margins up there.

I don't understand this trade idea at all but they obviously are a Cardinal fan.

Phillies are giving up:
Bohm: 24.9
Crawford: 18.5
Abel: 2

Phillies are getting:
Helsley: 11.5
Hancock: 1.6
Arenando: -22
Cash considerations

Cardinals are giving up:
Helsley: 11.5
Arenando: -22
Cash considerations

Cardinals are getting:
Montes: 20.4
Crawford: 18.5
Abel: 2

He's only had one all star appearance

Still find it hard to believe they couldn't get something of value for Castillo, especially given the current cost. Or at least attach Haniger.

Snell goes off the board. 36.4M per year average looks a little steep but good for him.
