Just eyeballing it but it looks like if you add Cruz the O's jump about nine places.

The Orioles appear to be one of only six teams with no guaranteed money committed beyond 2018.

I think that is very probably incorrect.

Miami is about to jump over 20 spaces up and out of last place. Of course we know in a year or two the contract will be dumped on either the Dodgers or Yankees.

I say he doesn't get traded until after the 2017 season. It will certainly happen before he becomes a 10/5 guy.
