I expect a bump in payroll to around 70-75M next year. And we're all hoping for something closer to 85. I'll say this, if Guthrie is considered an "answer," I'm going to have a hard time not selling out.

Yeah. The beauty of it is that even if they're only bumping the payroll by $15 million, they can devote a ton of that to pitching.
Sanchez/Guthrie: $7 million
Yuni: $2 million
Broxton: $4 million
Soria: $6 million
All of that salary should be off the books and those spots should and can be filled with cheaper in-house options.
They will have the money to sign two FA pitchers of quality in the offseason without blowing their salary ceiling.
Win a bit and see what happens with the attendance, Mr. Glass. Then bump up the payroll again.
