Payroll Can Still Expand

According to an article in the KC Star yesterday, the 2006 opening day payroll for the Royals will be about $45.8 million—which is $4.2 million short of what Glass has said is available. According to the article, Glass is still making the $4.2 million available "to supplement its current roster." Perhaps that will make way for a trade in which we can take on salary if the need arises—and I'm guessing that it will.
