AA has his MBA. He's well versed in not biting the hand that feeds which is why he keeps towing the company line and not complaining about ownership not ponying up more cash down the stretch to acquire a player, so don't believe a single word he says when it comes to money. He's simply playing to his bosses from that perspective.
The best thing about baseball is that if you're willing to pay the hard cash, anything can be had - there are always teams willing to make a deal to dump salary. AA's either gotta get extremely creative which is sometimes hard to ask, or Rogers has to pay more money. Now is the time. It's a sinking ship and there has to be an infusion of hope or this season is lost.
