Adding $7 million to the current Astros payroll pushes the Astros salary to right around $100 million. Which still doesn't push Houston inside the top 10 of salaries by any means but it's a step in the right direction for a team that has a lot of young players they will need to pay down the road.

14 Astros players make up $80 millions on the payroll in 2016:

That doesn't include pre-arbitration players: Brad Peacock, Dan Straily, Collin McHugh, Will Harris, Carlos Correa, George Springer, Preston Tucker, Max Stassi, Asher Wojciechowski, Ken Giles, Michael Feliz, and Lance McCullers.

It also doesn't include the pay increase for Jason Castro and Evan Gattis -- who be at the moment are destined to head to arbitration.

That is a $20 million dollar increase from 2015 payroll, $81,450,835. If the Astros eclipse the $100 million mark, it will be the first time since 2009 when the team has salary of $102,996,415.
