Have Hill and Tobin's contract details been released? Do we have any space left?
No $$ details yet for Hill, but Reiss reported this morning that Hill's contract is just 1 year.
Tobin's is also 1-year, and likely to be the minimum salary for his 5 years accrued = $790k ... minus any Veteran Minimum Salary Benefit (if there is one at that level).
We don't know Clayborn's 2018 cap hit yet.
So, $15.66M (Miguel's number) minus whatever those 2018 cap hits are.
And they still need to set aside $2.5M-$3.0M for rookies, plus another $6M or more for in-season emergencies, adjustments, extensions, and NLTBE incentives (of which there are likely to be quite a few involving weekly roster bonuses). That leaves between $6.0M and $6.5M in usable cap space.
With Hill and Clayborn each being likely to hit the 2018 cap for between $2.5M-$3.0M, at the moment, it's probably close to zero usable cap space.
