The Expos are trying to continue to cut cap, but the little cap taken here can easily be managed. Buxton is a nice addition to the OF, but at his current pice, his future hangs in the balance for an extension in the offseason. Chris Taylor is a versatile and underrated infielder/OF and is nice to slot in the lineup. Although this cost some pitching, the core pitching we wish to keep together remains intact. The Expos future looks bright as long as the team t=continues to cut cap bit by bit and then obtain fresh talent.
