With no salary cap, and supposed more revenue from last season and an increase in revenue this year they should be able to free up the dough.

Maybe a reason that they are about to raise ticket prices?
I agree with you in part. Janish could play a good backup to Reyes. Still not sure that I'm for giving up the farm and a starting pitcher to get him though. Pitching is bad enough this year w/o having to give up another half-decent arm.
I'd rather pick up a good LF and a good starting pitcher at this point.
