lecroy24fan’s 2023 Payroll Blueprint

[lecroy24fan]

Just a hair under budget. I did adjust arb figures to match mlbtraderumors.

A vet RP was a must and if not Robertson then a reunion with Rogers perhaps? Would cost a little more but wouldn't be budget breaking. I very much considered Edwin Diaz here but I don't think the Twins would go big here.

Jansen and Biggio picked up in a trade with TOR, with Jansen getting around a 50/50 split with Jeffers and some DH AB's on rest days for others moving Miranda into the field. TOR definitely could look to move him with Kirk and Moreno both ready.

What did you give up for Jansen and Roberts?

I could see a trade for Jensen and Biggio. I'd like to count on Kirilloff but that's seems like a long shot. Correa @33 long term doesn't fit this Fo's MO

Something built around maybe Henriquez and another prospect in the 25 or so range. Maybe Celestino in the deal? But I'd prefer to have him at AAA as insurance for CF as Gordon would be Buxton's backup in my blueprint.

Also they can have Roy Smalley.

I'm not too concerned about Kiriloff as Larnach is there, and Wallner an Celestino are in AAA. And likely a vet OF down there as well.

To give ‘em Smalley, we’ll have to throw in three TDers.
