Who do you think would have a bigger overall impact on this team Mack or MLJ?
The money is there easily for one of these 2 and Iloka and depending on how much Hall and Jones want we can probably get one of them back as well if not both.
We have 38 mil in cap space.
Give Mack about 9 Mil/year for about 4 years.
Give Iloka 8 Mil//year for 5 years
Give Adam Jones 2.5 mil/year for 3 years
Give Hall 2.5 mil/year for 4 years
That would eat up 22 mil of that 38 mil.
To be honest, I'd be working with these 3 and trying to re-work Whitworth's, Kirkpatrick's and or Zietler's contracts NOW so I'll know how much I have to use.
if we can get 1 or 2 of them re-worked with more years then we can possibly even attempt to keep MLJ.
And as a last resort, Peko counts 3.75 mil against the books so if we need to get that money we could cut him.
