NoCryingInBaseball’s 2024 Payroll Blueprint

[NoCryingInBaseball]

To start with, trading both big tickets (Kepler & Polanco) in a single trade with the Mariners for a young starter with a lot of upside (Logan Gilbert).

In the outfield, bring back Michael A Taylor and also sign Teoscar Hernández to play right field.

In the bullpen, bring back Maeda and sign Moore.

Go Twins...giddyup!

Once again a defense hole at second base and  in right field, brilliant.🤢
