We all assumed it would be one of the first moves Beane would do, since it opened up so much Cap, but it’s looking rather unlikely now that we restructure Josh’s contract to open up 23-ish million. If the reports are true, Beane has is close to being under the cap.
This is a pretty big deal, is it not? Unless I’m mistaken, paying Josh his big guarantees and not kicking the can down the road will, no pun intended, pay off huge dividends in years to come.
I believe the team is already in positive cap space for next season, and they don’t have many big ticket expiring contracts (yet).
If Beane keeps up this level of wizardry, Hogwarts will come knocking.
