Actually it is a roster issue, since we set the contracts for players......

if you look there, you'll see that this year so far their payroll is at 91 mil... keep in mind they're a young team with most all their guys still arb eligible. Their main FA signings outside of Greinke have been MRs that don't eat up too much money. Granted all their pre arb eligible signings aren't listed yet but those are all mainly gonna be contracts around 507k or so
