don't see why it's all that surprising
the primary goal of the offseason was to trade a starting pitcher. we dropped about $8.5 million right there. maybe we would have liked to see some of that money (or more) used on another player(s) but i never saw any FAs we needed that provided value. it still wouldn't surprise me to see KW add some significant payroll via trade.
