They've traded for Kimbrel, signed Chris Young as a 4th OF and spent big bucks on Price. Curious as to what their roster will look like..we can modify this as need be.
Starting Lineup -
Appears set barring a trade of Ramirez should they eat half the cost or if they make some kind of trade involving an OF
C Swihart (500K)
1B Ramirez (22.5mil)
2B Pedroia (13 mil)
3B Sandoval (17.5 mil)
SS Bogaerts (500K)
OF Bradley (500K)
OF Betts (500K)
OF Castillo (11 mil)
DH Ortiz (16 mil)
Total: 82 million
Bench
C Hanigan (3.5 mil)
INF Shaw (500K)
INF/OF Holt (500K)
OF Young (6.5 mil)
Total 11 million
Starting Pitching
Price (30 mil)
Porcello (20 mil)
Buchholz (13 mil)
Miley (6 mil)
Rodriguez (500K)
Total 69.5 million
Bullpen
Kimbrel (11 mil)
Uehara (9 mil)
Tazawa (arb 3 ~ 3 mil)
Kelly (arb 1 ~ 3 mil)
Ross (arb 1 ~ 1 mil)
Layne (500K)
Barnes (500K)
Total 28 million
25 man - approximately 191 million
Luxury tax is based on the 40 man roster. So another 15 players, if they are counted as minimum that would be about 7.5 mil plus another 12-13 mil in benefits that teams must pay out. So as of now I'm guessing Boston is around 212 million going into the 2016 season. If the luxury tax is 189 million, then Boston will be approximately 23 million over the limit. As a second time offender (In 2015 they paid a $1.8 million luxury tax), they would have to pay 30% of the 23 million - or about 7 million in luxury tax.
Of course the winter meetings haven't even started yet, so this is fluid. And I'm not an expert so maybe I've missed some things. Lets tweak it as it goes..
Oh and Allen Craig doesn't count toward the 40 man - he's not on it. They put him on waivers and no one claimed him. They pay him but his salary doesn't hit regarding the tax.
Anything I'm missing?
