Crane today appeared to express a willingness to go over it. Hooray! If Cole wants to stay and will compromise of the length of the deal, maybe we have a chance.
I found this from Luhnow: We're probably over the line [the so-called Luxury Tax] at this point without any added additions.

At the end of the day, we're not going to know our payroll until we start next year. There's going to be opportunities to improve the team.
