The M's are now committed for $75M spent on their budget and that includes the Contingency Fund. The only possible place to save anymore money this year would be to trade Gutierrez who is out of options and his $7M salary. If they pick up another OF bat, then either Carp or Wells must be traded and they are both out of options. They also need another SP and back up C to fill the roster. One of Kelley or Kinney can be traded as well as numerous other RH RP's as well as maybe one LH RP. That's pretty much what they could trade without hurting themselves. And the OF bat is still the problem.
