Round 3. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mGWZ2_41dCPV4ZnoMBRIPyJbQYAyQN8pc3pDfix16XY/edit?usp=sharing Does this link work? (edit: apparently not) Payroll comes to $123M. In general terms, this scenario means: -trading Kepler and Gonsalves (could be Cave and any one of Romero, Littell, Stewart, Mejia, etc) for Raisel Iglesias. -signing one of MILLER/BRITTON/Robertson/Familia/Soria/Kelly -signing one of Corbin/Kuechel/HAPP/Morton and (opt) signing Cahill and trading Odorizzi or signing Ryu/Eovaldi -signing Jose Iglesias -signing Moustakas and Melky Cabrera (if Donaldson or MCCUTCHEON/Brantley would be willing to sign add $10M to payroll) My general assumption is that Donaldson/Brantley/McCutcheon/Corbin/Kuechel/Ryu won't sign with the Twins. Trade away Kepler and bring in Cabrera to platoon with Cave. Trading away Odorizzi brings back ? I only bring in Cahill/trade Odorizzi if I can bring in established, healthy SP (e.g. Happ). If Donaldson/McCutcheon/Brantley won't sign, extensions to Gibson/Rosario/Berrios are very much in play.

Oh, and The One From Crazytown: Some of the same names as my other one, but also: trade away Castro and A. Reed and pile on enough prospects until someone eats their salaries. Same proviso as my other one, the last few million could go to a 4th OF or LH bat instead of Romo. C - Astudillo (0.6) Garver (0.6) IF - Sano (3.1) Polanco (0.6) Donaldson (20.0) Machado (30.0) Adrianza (1.8) Austin (0.6) OF - Rosario (5.0) Buxton (1.2) Cave (0.6) Reed (0.6) Next up position players: Wade, Gordon, Rooker SP - Berrios (0.6) Gibson (7.9) Odorizzi (9.4) Pineda (8.0) Ryu (11.0) RP - Hildenberger (0.6) Moya (0.6) Rogers (1.6) Iglesias (5.7) May (1.1) Familia (11.0) Romo (3.0) Curtiss, or Duffey, or Magill, or whoever (0.6) Next up pitchers: Romero, Littell, Stewart, Thorpe, Mejia, Magill, Curtiss, Vasquez, Duffey, etc. Dead money and buyouts (8.0) Total: $134 or so Obviously, this one has some problems. No way Twins go into the season with Garver and Tortuga as the catchers. Signing Machado for infinity also severely limits the ability to offer extensions in coming years to Berrios, Rosario, Gibson, Sano, Buxton, etc. Pretty thin bullpen.

Not likely, but here we go. I made some investments in fairly sure things, took some calculated risks, and begged and pleaded for Donaldson, Ryu and Familia to come to Minnesota. The trade I made was Kepler and Gonsalves for Raisel Iglesias. I also toyed with trading for Jean Segura, but I couldn't decide what was feasible (and if I knew I probably wouldn't do it). I'm not terribly comfortable with Reed as 4th OF; I could see spending a few million on a 4th OF instead of Sergio Romo. C - Castro (8.0) Garver (0.6) IF - Sano (3.1) Polanco (0.6) Donaldson (20.0) Iglesias (9.0) Adrianza (1.8) Austin (0.6) OF - Rosario (5.0) Buxton (1.2) Cave (0.6) Reed (0.6) Next up position players: Astudillo, Wade, Gordon, Rooker SP - Berrios (0.6) Gibson (7.9) Odorizzi (9.4) Pineda (8.0) Ryu (11.0) RP - Reed (8.5) Hildenberger (0.6) Moya (0.6) Rogers (1.6) Iglesias (5.7) May (1.1) Familia (11.0) Romo (3.0) Next up pitchers: Romero, Littell, Stewart, Thorpe, Mejia, Magill, Curtiss, Vasquez, Duffey, etc. Dead money and buyouts (8.0) Total: $128
