I don't think that is overextending their payroll and yet provides some nominal cash flow to improve their roster.
I don't know why that seems like an irrational desire or not feasible from an organizational standpoint of remaining profitable and increasing the value of the franchise.

100-105 sounds reasonable. If we can sell 2.2MM tickets and make the playoffs again sometime in the next couple years, we ought to be able to break even there, and if it doesn't work, we have a losing season, and it ends up being a small short term loss, well we probably need to float a little money before the new TV deal anyway.
I don't expect Glass to operate at a long-term loss, but 100 or so doesn't sound like a big ask. (edit2: operating loss. I don't count capital gains, at all)
edit: and on the upside, if ticket and apparel sales go better than expected and we end up on pace for 2.4MM+ tickets instead of the 2.2MM we're thinking, then thats enough to swing a decent deadline deal if needed, too.
