jay87shot’s 2023 Payroll Blueprint

[jay87shot]

3 team trade (Arnold's new thing)

We get Yandy Diaz, Red Sox get Eric Lauer, Ray's get Blaze Jordan, Shane Drohan, Logan Henderson

Trade Rowdy and Russ Smith to Marlins for Dax Fulton

Sign Danny Duffy 1/6 with incentive to 12 

Sign Aroldis Chapman 1/12 incentive to 15

Frelich/Weimer and Turang come up around May to save year of control send down Perkins and Toro/Brosseau/Miller

1)LF Yeli 2)1B Diaz 3)DH Winker 4)C Contreras 5)SS Adames 6)CF Mitchell 7) 3B Urias 8)RF Taylor 9)2B Miller/Toro/Brosseau

Rotation= Burnes, Woody, Peralta, Duffy, Houser, Ashby

Pen=Williams, Chapman, Bush, Cousins, Payames, Milner, Strez/Guerra/Varland/Junk/Perguaro/etc.

You could trade Winker instead of Rowdy but I would guess we would get very little in return. Fulton would be a good get and could be a good option layer in the year. Duffy and Ashby piggy back to start the year and then go 6 man rotation after a few times through the rotation.
