Evidently, we've maxed out our budget.  I just now saw it on MLBTR, who took it from CTrent.  According to the Fay, it's about the same last year's $74MM, maybe a touch higher.  So we can more or less bank on this being the team that shows up in Sarasota.  I think most of us were assuming as much, though perhaps just many were hoping we'd be wrong.  In my mind this blows for one reason: I now have zero motivation to check the Reds hot stove for the next couple months.  I appreciate the Reds newfound openness to the media, but I wouldn't have minded being strung along till pitchers & catchers in hopes of a new signing.
