Giants' payroll was $232.37 mms. in 2024, just under the $237 mms. tax threshold. Thanks to losing Conforto and Soler; Giants have a $149 mms. number for 2025, and when Snell drops out, it drops to $111 mms, but that only includes signed players Snell, Chapman, Ray, Lee, Hicks, Webb, Taylor Rogers, Murphy and Flores. Everyone else is Arbitration or pre-arbitration. They're trying to move $12 mms. Taylor Rogers.
Luxury tax level is $241 mms. in 2025. Assuming standard projected arbitration (keeping Rogers and losing Snell) is around $143 mms.
I suspect we fail to get Soto. Maybe we get Pete Alonso for $30 mms.? Maybe Manaea (12-5) returns? I think Manaea had a good relationship with Melvin at both Oakland and San Diego.
