    I think there's a legitimate competition between Arauz and Lin. I wonder if the Sox stick with Arauz and try to sneak Lin through waivers at the very end of ST.

    That's assumed if you're taking on Myers. At least 50% of that salary needs to be paid by SD or I wouldn't do it.

    And it's not like they are sending cash to Henry, they are just covering a portion of Myers' salary.

    Well, they're covering Myers' salary by sending cash over to Henry. If the Red Sox acquire Myers and then trade him at some point in the future, they can still keep that cash and deal Myers with no money. Although it's not likely anyone would want Myers at that price...

    I don't think I realized they just sent over $$$. Is it a lump sum or do they pay it over time?

    Probably depends on how the teams work everything out...

    If they gave us more prospects, I might demand less money.

    My guess is $10M a year for 3 years.

    Are these talks still ongoing? There has been ZERO buzz for several days, and the San Diego front office is notoriously leaky about stuff like this...

    So you don't care about the CBT then?

    Welll, MYers does top out at $13.8 mill AAV if the Sox take no money. So if they get $10mill per, it's $3.8mill against the CBT. Is getting $5mill per year with a $8.8 mill CBT hit and another (hopefully) good prospect worth it?

    Are you suggesting that with all that sudden cap space, Castillo comes up? (That's a bad look! RS traded their best player in order to get the cap space to bring up a grossly overpaid minor leaguer? But for Castillo's sake, I suppose I hope it happens.)

    Of course, I do, but we can still stay under by taking a little less cash.

    I want to build the farm, too, and it's a tight balance.

    $1.2M constraint against the CBT for someone who may never make the show? IDK. I'd take that risk, but there were a lot of people on here quite concerned about the proximity to the CBT.

    I don't think it works like that.

    I think, if SD pays half his salary, we are charged half his lux tax cost ($6.9M) not $3.8M.
