Andy MacPhail’s 2027 Payroll Blueprint: Filling the Holes 2.0

[Andy MacPhail]

Feeling a bit more inspired, I went big in high-leverage FA RPs, I doubt if the Twins would do the same, Also a FA RH OF Tyron Taylor to help out against LHPs. Traded Larnach & Ober & picked up Quero (C) & Susana (SP). 

IMO, we can be very competitive with this roster. I'd also trade Ryan for a promising young MLB-ready SP.
