If you look at the rest of our 2018 FAs, Huber and Clark Harris are the only other big names. Everyone else is replaceable. When you get to look at the 2019 list, you get Dunlap and Atkins, who will be 30 and 31. Dennard and Ogbuehi haven't shown enough to have their options picked up.
Burfict and Eifert shouldn't have huge increases in their cap hits though.
They both have a cap number of $4.75 million. Even if you bump them both to $10 million per year You don't need to save $20 million for extensions for those 2. It would only cost $12 million extra to keep both of therm.
The cap will also probably go up and you more than likely will see Whit in his last year (along with Rey M) which would clear roughly $15 million, so you might not even need to save ANY money to keep them.
