I do agree with you that LF is a priority (either resign Ludwick or find a replacement).. It's more important than CF, IMO. (And yes, I realize Stubbs has been a stinker and I hope he's upgraded )
My guess is a lot of that deferred money has been stored away by the Reds over the years. Even if it hasn't, now that they're in the last year of his contract, it's probably much more reasonable to simply pay all of that money if they feel it's the difference between winning and losing.
