Seansy’s 2023 Payroll Blueprint: No payroll room = small moves

[Seansy]

Dumped Paddack to create payroll room to add Coulombe as a LHP and meet the budget requirement of 130M.

Topa starts in AAA to 1) prove he is healthy and 2) keep Henriquez since he is out of options to maintain depth.

Might be able to dump Vazquez for a different back up C but I'm not confident any FA back up C on the market will be much better.

• C: Ryan Jeffers ($4.70M)
• 1B: Jose Mirands ($0.80M)
• 2B: Brooks Lee ($0.80M)
• 3B: Royce Lewis ($2.30M)
• SS: Carlos Correa ($36.00M)
• LF: Trevor Larnach ($2.10M)
• CF: Byron Buxton ($15.00M)
• RF: Matt Wallner ($0.80M)
• DH: Edouard Julien ($0.80M)
• 4th OF: DaShawn Keirsey ($0.80M)
• Utility: Willi Castro ($6.20M)
• Utility: Austin Martin ($0.80M)
• Backup C: Christian Vazquez ($10M)
• NA: Dead Money Here ($0M)
• SP1: Pablo Lopez ($21.50M)
• SP2: Joe Ryan ($3.80M)
• SP3: Bailey Ober ($4.30M)
• SP4: David Festa ($0.8M)
• SP5: Simeon Woods Richardson ($0.80M)
• RP: Jhoan Duran ($3.70M)
• RP: Brock Stewart ($0.80M)
• RP: Griffin Jax ($2.60M)
• RP: Jorge Alcala ($1.50M)
• RP: Cole Sands ($0.80M)
• RP: Michael Tonkin ($1M)
• RP: Ronny Henriquez ($0.8M)
• RP: Danny Coulombe ($2.20M)
• NA: Justin Topa ($1.3M)

Payroll is 2.31% under budget

Looks like about 72-75 wins. Probably pretty accurate as to what it will look like though.

Coulombe would be nice. Anything to add to the roster for Paddack or salary dump for a minor leaguer?

I mean, they won 82 games in 2024 where the bottom fell out starting early August with basically this roster. Are you anticipating the bottom falling out earlier in 2025?

Unrelated, I love that Jose Miranda's name is Jose Mirands in the blueprint :)

Looks like about an 85 win team to me. I think that's pretty much exactly what FGDC predicts.
