Permanent Twins Fan’s 2027 Payroll Blueprint: Permanent Twins Fan

[Permanent Twins Fan]

I think this team is definitely favored to win the AL Central. Strong Rotation and if the young guys take a step forward we could have a good lineup again. Kelly and France provide good veteran leadership. Don't know how within budget this is, but I would love to see this happen. Bullpen seems pretty strong as well. Don't know how realistic this is, but would love to see this happen. I have Abel and Matthews waiting in AAA for the inevitble injury and both playing big roles down the stretch. (LIkely Matthews in Bullpen and Abel in Rotation)

Payroll is 8.81% over budget

I feel like you're way "over budget" here. Of course there's no rule against the Twins being at $160M.

The Correa 10M isn't in here and your free agents are a decent amount below the suggested values within the tool (which I already think are a little too low).

Love the aggressiveness though.
