I'm sure that has changed based on the new signings. We shouldn't worry about cap space anyway. I think Beane has earned some trust that he won't screw up the cap.
If the agents are told by their players that it's weather and sex- why would you say it's something else?
As to why 'every' free agent didn't sign with Miami or SD- let's just sit here for a moment and think about how ridiculous a question that is.
not to nitpick, but 20ish isn't very specific. 11+6+2 with those 3, less 2 from ivory. That's 17M- . It's going to go down , that's just how it works. I wouldn't worry about the cap. Plus, we'll probably release a vet or 2 during camp.
