mitcho8’s 2024 Payroll Blueprint

[mitcho8]

I did it. I signed Yamamoto. To make it work, I cut Farmer, traded Kepler and left my bench and bullpen pretty thin. I would love to shed Vazquez as well (without having to eat salary), and if I could do that I would use the money to thicken the bench and bullpen and sign a Sandy Leon type to be Jeffers' backup. I'm going to rely on Buxton to play CF (with Taylor in the wings) and St. Paul to provide bench/bullpen reinforcements.
