Not only could the M's have spent more this year if they wanted, but a whole bunch of money is coming off the books. Take a look:
Ichiro- $17 million
League- $5
Olivo- $3.5 ($750k buyout)
Iwakuma- $1.5
Sherrill- $1.1
Millwood- $1
That's almost $30 million dollars freed up! Does anyone seriously think we can add $35 million dollars worth of players this offseason? I wish that were the case but I doubt we'll be able to get one elite high-priced player let alone two. The market for top talent just seems super thin right now.
