They now have 76 mllion wrapped up in 2013 payroll. There payroll for 2012 is only 84mill. That 2013 is only accounts for 11 players.

Re: Phillips 6/72.5
They're going to have to pay Latos at some point if they want to keep him. I think Arroyo's humungous contract runs out either at the end of this year or next, which will help. In either event, I don't know how Castellini expects to field a 25-man roster without raising ticket prices. The Reds are already at the bottom of the league in ticket prices, and they've not been able to draw 20K a game for a series against the defending World Series champion in a divisional rivalry.

Re: Phillips 6/72.5
I was curious how they could afford Votto drawing 16/17K a game. I didn't even realize they commited another 72+ million to Phillips....
When is Latos a free agent? I think we could use him!

Re: Phillips 6/72.5
Arroyo's contract is on the books only through 2013. You right that will help. Still 10 players are arbitration eligible in 2013.
