bjorks’s 2027 Payroll Blueprint: Unrealistic

[bjorks]

My big signing is Pivetta, whose metrics and second half last year were lights out. Marte is a FA after '27 and like Lewis, is a change of scenery guy. 

I found it funny Alan Roden was left off internal options! Poor guy. 

THis is a fun tool and shows how challenging it can be if revenue/ownership don't adjust with rising economics. We're stuck trying to fill the backend of the roster with league minimum guys and that's not easy. I could care less if Ross/Kreidler/Jackson are on the team, but that's our options based on the list of available players. 

Any trade I make for someone like Ryan/ERod I'm taking back prospects anyway.
