With the addition of Snell, Cots has them at a projected $139,840,000 payroll. They'll have nine players who could hit arby in 2022, when Davies & Pham ($17M combined) become free agents, and another seven who could hit arby in 2023 when Clevinger ($8M) is a FA and they hold an option on Myers, who makes $22,500,000 in 2021, so they could see $29.5M fall off the books. Snell ($16.6M) and Pomeranz ($10M) are FAs after 2022. Hosmer drops from $21M to $13M after 2022, and Machado drops from $34M to $30M after 2023, so they aren't strapped with long-term deals, and should have some money to offer Tatis an extension, as he would be a FA after 2024. Having a lot of pre-arby guys makes up for having some big contracts on the roster. With their system, they should still have a lot of good prospects coming up to keep a steady stream of quality pre-arby talent on the roster for years. Plus, they could always trade away some of their surplus MLB talent for more young talent should they see the need. They seem to be in a pretty good position to be good for quite a while. Sounds like Davies is going to the Cubs in the Darvish trade.
