My scenario would be two trades that netted David Bednar, Reece McGwire, Julian Merryweather, Bryan Reynolds, and Taylor Ward.
Sure. I’m moving the “untouchables” and a starter in a three team deal guaranteed to upset more than a few stomachs.
The three team twelve player deal with Los Angeles and Pittsburg was accepted at the BTV site (didn’t post), though I’m curious how you all would approach it? Have at it. Tampa and Toronto could be the third team too or any team in want/need of a low cost starter (all of them I suppose) and piece(s) that might interest Cleveland and Pittsburg. The latter definitely reduces the choices.
Beyond NRI signings for depth at AAA I’d head into the year with a payroll less than 50M. Hit my targets, why spend more?
Plus I’d be loaded for bear at the deadline capable of filling any hole.
To begin the year I’d run out the top six (Straw, Reynolds, Ramirez, Reyes, Bradley, Rosario) in the lineup daily and mix and match the bottom three.
