We all know there are major constraints on what A.J. Preller and the San Diego Padres can do this offseason based on payroll.
We take a look at what the current payroll looks like and just how much Preller could have to spend this offseason.
Before even getting into arbitration and pre-arbitration players, the Padres 2020 payroll currently sits around $97 million.
Based on MLB Trade Rumors arbitration projections, they could have another $25.6 million on the books for 2020 — if they were to retain every arbitration-eligible player.
That brings the Padres current 2020 payroll to around $120 million.
