With the additions of Patrick Corbin, Anibal Sanchez, Trevor Rosenthal, Kyle Barraclough, Yan Gomes, Kurt Suzuki, and Matt Adams, the Washington Nationals have already accomplished much of what they set out to do this offseason.
In the process, they’ve committed about $44 million to next year’s payroll and $53.5 million for luxury tax calculations. Cot’s Baseball Contracts estimates that the Nationals payroll sits at about $191.9 million for next year with a luxury tax calculation of $191.7 million, leaving them about $14 million below the $206 million luxury tax threshold.
