Redman's salary

The PG says that all of Redman's salary next year will be paid by the Royals. Now we're talking. At this point we've dealt Williams and Redman, who are very similar to each other to Duke and Maholm (though not nearly as good as the younger two) for Casey, a minor league reliever, and a PTBNL at a cost of about $1 million of that supposed $15 million raise in the payroll (assuming Williams makes about $1 million in arbitration next year, Casey costs $7.5 million more, which is down to $5.5 million if the Reds do chip in part of Casey's salary as expected, but without Redman's salary we're only $1 million above where we started). This means one of two things, either Littlefield has something big in mind (fingers crossed for Troy Glaus), Littlefield is going to blow all of that money on overpaying for Nomar, or McClatchy and the Nuttings hope that we get confused in everything and they pocket $15 million. I'm leaning towards scenario three.
