As most of you are aware, VEB site manager emeritus Craig Edwards used to regularly post a Cardinal payroll matrix, frequently after larger moves happened. With the off-season beginning, a new contract for Adam Wainwright, and several big ticket free agents hitting the market, now seems like as good a time as any to revisit the payroll matrix. I had originally planned to post this earlier this week. It’s a good thing I didn’t, because now we can shed Matthew Bowman, Francisco Pena, and Greg Garcia.
I’ve taken a few cues from the matrix created by Craig Edwards.
