This is factually inaccurate. If you look at the payroll from last year, the money that was lost, there was plenty of money to throw out a few million total for Iguchi, Pierzynsky and Dye. He just shouldn't have signed Hernandez or Hermanson.
Magglio's $14 million, Valentin's $5 million, Koch's $6+ million - all off the books this season.
