Per Cot’s Baseball Contracts, The Padres are currently at $228,985,000 v. a CBT of $230,000,000.  That is why they are trying to deal Eric Hosmer.  They need some wiggle room to allow them to pursue trade options during the season.  

Note:  the calculation for the CBT includes player benefits and a variety of other charges.


Note2: Since SD exceeded the CBT in 2021, they will pay a repeater penalty if they go over this year.
