October 11, 200421 yr We already know Everett will pick up his option and Politte already did. So with them signed what is our payroll rightn now with all of our potential free agents excluded from the list (i.e. Ordonez, Valentin, the alomar's)
October 11, 200421 yr The easist way to describe it is the Sox are or will be committed to roughly $61-$62 million for 20 players. The numbers are somewhat arguable but that is pretty close. That includes estimates for players like Crede, Harris, Rowand, Davis, etc. that are not yet under contract. Barring trades, the Sox will need to fill about 5 roster spots.
October 11, 200421 yr i heard somewhere it could go up to 75M dunno though.. no one knows where it will go...... its all speculation, at this point
October 11, 200421 yr no one knows where it will go...... its all speculation, at this point I saw a good article from Ken Rosenthal that stated why teams should be raising payrolls for next season. With the new TV deal in as well, and attendance pretty high during the season when the Sox were in contention, there's no doubt that there'll be a bump upwards of the payroll, the question is how much?

Don't forget the Sox radio deal will be less than what it has been, so there will be money lost there.
October 11, 200421 yr Don't forget the Sox radio deal will be less than what it has been, so there will be money lost there. There have also been the big ticket price increases the past few years to factor in.
October 13, 200421 yr Author It looks as if our scouts will have to find some hidden gems who will come cheap.
October 13, 200421 yr Author 80 Million seems like a reach. i would say about 65-70 Million next season. Damn you Reinsdorf!
