Its not entirely nothing lost, but the loss comes from Mickeynomics. We lost 2.5 million. In March we restructured Saunders contract to get under the cap, converting about $2.5 million of his base salary and roster bonus into an immediate bonus, and wrote him a check. This is at the same time that we were trading for Dalvin Godchaux and giving him guaranteed money. If we were not always scrambling to get under the cap from the biggest deficits in the leahue, we wouldn't have had to guarantee extra money to a player who was a very forseeable cut/trade.

Ironically, we did the same with Ruiz on the same day. I wish we would cut or trade Ruiz because we need a move like that to send the message that a new sheriff is in town and being one of DA's draft golden boys isn't enough any more, you actually have to produce occasionally.
