Nick Krall - Reds have a little bit more to spend, not a ton

[*ochocincos*]

Looking at the acquisitions this offseason so far, they are ok but none really get the fans (or at least me) overly excited.

Those deals combined with the arbitration deals, Spotrac now lists the Reds at $90 mill payroll with $100 mill projected total allocations.

Nick Krall recently was interviewed saying "We've got a little bit (to spend), not a ton... We've looked at trading a draft pick to help saving some money as well."

Unfortunately, we won't be seeing them get up to $110-120 mill, I don't think.

Nick Martinez is the highest payroll eater at $21 mill, followed by Candelario at $15 mill.
New SP Singer is 3rd at $8.75 mill.

This season may be relying on these young hitters again like last year, and hopefully McLain's return will help that.
