Probably. Frankly, I think the concept of cap floor teams looking for players who get paid less than their cap hit is overstated. We've seen almost none of those deals over the years.
I agree it's overstated, but it has happened before. Over the remaining 3 years of Girardi's contract, a cap floor team would save $2.5 million parallel to Girardi's cap hit: his salary is $5 million next season, and $4 million each of the following seasons.
Comparatively, there's exactly zero chance a non-cap floor team allocates $5.5 million AAV for Dan Girardi.
Their logic is okay, but ultimately the point is moot. Girardi isn't going to allow the Rangers to trade him to a cap floor team. Which is why I see a buyout as the only viable option.
