Yet they have managed to cut their payroll for 2014 by 50 million (salary + tax). A 20% cut. Imagine.
In other words, they had a couple of guys retire, and got out of Alex Rodriguez' salary due to him not just accepting his suspension and serving it last year like everyone else.
I mean, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte, and Rodriguez are a good $45 million between them. It's not like they were trading away contracts to shed that $50 million or something.
