Elvis' 2025 cap and roster cleanup proposal

Stalwart385 said

You reduce Carr's hit in 2026 by 30 mil. That's the number. Now how many expiring contracts did you just restructure? All that additional push back subtracts from that 30 mil.

In the end you'll still be significantly below the cap and you won't see much difference for all the ridiculous sacrifice.

You can wish it to happen all you want and try to convince your self it's smart. Just remember it will never happen in the real world.

It's clear you haven't looked at the math or the contracts. I have, so I'll help you.

First, not all of the contracts are expiring with void years. $18.3 million of the restructures are coming from McCoy, Ruiz and Granderson who have multiple years left on their deals and that money will be spread across those years. AK has a small restructure and is under contract in 2026 and his hit would come in 2027.

The rest of the restructures add up to less than $20 million in new dead money from void years in 2026. Leaving the team without any of the bad contracts and more cap space. It's a one year make over on par with what Denver just did.

Second, what is the ridiculous sacrifice am I suggesting?
