Alright. Baseball salaries aren't paid out at just the end of the season, but over the course of the entire season. Since the trade of Santana happened at the end, you had pretty much paid him his entire salary. As that put you in the red, in the red you stayed for the end of that fiscal year. End of Santana deal having anything to do with your finances.

Now you're in a new year. Media Revenue is paid out instantly, so there is your near $24M. Since you were $8.3M in the red last year, that is deducted, leaving you at the $15.5M in cash. With all of your current contracts, you are still $55k over budget, but you do have the $15.5M in cash. By the end of the year, if everyone's salary stays the same and you don't add or subtract anyone, you'll have just shy of $15.5M sitting in your bank still.

You have the cash, just not the budget room.
