By all accounts, the Mariners will spend just under $50 million in 2014 - assuming that they let Guti and Morales go.
Then even by conservative estimates, the Mariners 2014 player budget will be at minimum $90 million.
Assuming we over spend for Abreu at $14 million per year, we will have at least $26 million for others.
My guess is Choo goes for $18 million per year... but until teams start spending, who knows what the market will bear this year.
Supposedly, there are at least 10 teams with over $30 million to spend this off season, so I expect prices to be higher than expected.
