Only partially a joke. Sabathia, Holliday, Garcia, Pineda and Frazier are all FAs after this year, with 70 million off the books, Gardner in 2 years (likely) and Headley and Robertson after next season.. thats another 38 million. Their arbitration guys aren't going to end up taking a massive chunk of that, with Sanchez, Judge and Severino still pre-arb.
Just saying they could probably make it work if they got creative enough
