Dropping Keuchel(14 mil), Julio (11 mil), O'Dy(9 mil), and Swarzak (8 mil) garners 41 mil. Melancon at 14 mil(Cots salary for 2020) and Greene(Arby projection of 6+ mil) and you still have 20+ mil to help cover a Donaldson increase, trading for Marte and signing Grandal. A 130+ opening day payroll is not out of the question. 2019 was 115+ mil with 2018 final payroll of 136+ mil. 2019 final has not been published.
