Ok I’ll probably get trashed for this but….

Spotrac has a feature where you can adjust contracts and all. According to that we can adjust those deals and re-sign Chase and get below the cap. Edit: Forgot Taysom and Granderson restructures.

As far as for our FA’s, as I said in there, sign only minimum salary guys. Not trying to build anything this year, the goal for this season is salary clearing. You push money out for those restructures, but the great thing is you can cut them all next season if you wanted.
You are Ill-informed about restructures. You do NOT restructure a player this year with the plan of releasing that player next year. You would simply leave the contract alone, or release the player.
