Back of the Envelope Payroll Calculation
Santana + Bay + Wright + Dickey + Carrasco = $63.325 million. Add in Francisco ($6 million), Rauch ($3.5 million), Torres ($3 million after arbitration?), and Ramirez ($2.5 million after arbitration?) + 18 major league minimums (18*$480,000) = $86,965,000, or $87 million. Am I missing anything?

You missed:
Byrdak ($1m additional) and arb for Pelfrey ($4.5m additional), bringing us to $93.5 million. And you’re probably a bit low on Ramirez’s salary and maybe Torres too, as well as guys like Murphy and Davis making a few dollars more than minimum, etc. That’s about $95m, which is consistent with the idea that the Mets have $5m more to spend if they so choose.

Ramirez only made 1.6 mil last year
he isn’t going to even make that much. Torres seems about right though
