farmerguychris’s 2024 Payroll Blueprint

[farmerguychris]

1- Trade away Vasquez for money savings, bring up Camargo to be the backup.

2- Trade away Polanco for a starting pitcher.  Julien starts at 2B.  Get Keller from the Pirates with 2 years left of control.

3- Trade away Kepler for a prospects.  Move Walner to RF and put Larnach in LF

4- Bring up Lee to be a utility IF and DH.

5- Give Miranda another shot

6 - Castro is 4th OF

7- Is Dobnak no longer on the 40?  I think this may be his year to return to the majors if he's healthy.  That money needs to be earned this year.  Starter or reliever - I'm fine with him being here either way.
