Spending Money for next year
The data is in a nice table on the FanHome frontpage
There is quite a bit of financial flexibility, even if there isn't a lot of positional flexibility. The team can take money back in offseason trades and/or sign large value Free Agent contracts. The small value of the good but not great bullpen means that the money can be focused on the one or two starting pitching slots while also searching for a way to add to the lineup particularly the goal of getting a lefthanded power bat.

I'm sorry I left for a while. I needed a vaction, and then work changed substantially. I'm over 50 hour weeks, plus two hours a day of commuting time.
A few weeks ago I launched my own blog about Seattle Sounders FC and Life in Puget Sound. I won't be by these parts often as my focus has changed. Sorry about the unannounced retirement.
