I saw a breakdown on Vivalabirdos.
Bottom line is that after the arbitration raises, the players moving on etc. we have $20 Million free this upcoming season without raising payroll a single $ from last year. And last years payroll was too low. Gould was saying that the Cardinals can afford a $150 million payroll and still make $20 million in profit.
