2025 salary status…
Signed players - $152,660,000
Arbitration estimates for Wade, Doval and Ty. Rogers - $13,750,000
Prearb players expected to be on 26 man roster - $9,600,000
Other (including minor league players on 40 man roster) - $7,959,000
True Up for Solar trade - $1,875,484
Expected prearb bonuses - $1,666,667
Player benefits - $17,500,000
Total - $205,011,151 (this figures reflects the salary data that is utilized to determine CBT status).
CBT limit - $241,000,000
Available - $35,988,849 (including player benefits and prorated bonus payments).
Using your salary expectations*, SF could not sign both Santander and Flaherty without exceeding the CBT.
Note: This assumes any salaries paid would not be deferred and would be paid equally on an annual basis over the life of the contract.
*Santander - $20,000,000 million annually
*Flaherty - $23,000,000 million annually
Also, Santander is a QO opt-out. Does SF want to forfeit a couple draft choices (in addition to those surrendered as part of the Adames signing)? I don’t think so.
In summary, sign Flaherty, trade for another OF, save some cash for mid-season deals and remain under the CBT.
