titletownking’s 2023 Payroll Blueprint

[titletownking]

Feel ok about this team overall. Signed Vazquez to a 2 year, 17 mil deal. 
traded Ruiz, and Valerio for Diaz. Traded Tyler Black for Blesier, really like his stuff and probably an overpay.  Resigned Jace if the $ is right but also ok with Turang after a month or two and signing a minimum guy in the meantime. Fill out the bench with rookies/roster invites. Leaves money to add as well. 

• C: Christian Vazquez ($8.5M)
• 1B: Rowdy Tellez ($5.30M)
• 2B: Luis Urias ($4.30M)

I would love Yandy, however I feel he would be best at 1st. I doubt we would want Blier especially for a solid prospect like Black, he really isn't much different than Suter who we cut for the same salary.

The two players aren’t really comparable. Bleier’s FIP is around 3.01 the last 3 years and Suter’s is 3.78. Bleier also has two more years of control. Perfect guy for a 7th/8th inning role.

Both are soft throwing lefties that don't strike guys out, they are older and not really late inning options. I agree Bleier is better but not much.
