Robocaller’s 2023 Payroll Blueprint Post Renfroe

[Robocaller]

Trade Burnes and Adames to the Dodgers for:
Diego Cartaya C*
Austin Barnes C

Bobby Miller RHP*

Ryan Pepiot RHP

Miguel Vargas 3B, 1B, OF

Trade Woodruff to the Orioles for:
Jordan Westburg 3B/2B*

Kyle Bradish RHP

Cionel Perez RP and a

Fungible low-value pitching prospect.

And just to get rid of them, I'm trading Wong and Hiura to the Tigers for:
Andy Ibanez INF
Tyler Alexander LHP, and a

Fungible low-value pitching prospect. 

The guys with * on them would not break camp with the team, but should be called up at some point in 2023.  Current prospects who could be called up during 2023 are Wiemer, Feliciano, Navaretto, Small, Gasser, Devanney, Monasterio, Singleton,  Uribe, Middendorf, as well as  some marginal relief pitchers.

Counting Tyler Alexander (not our Alexander) and Houser,  there are 7 starting pitchers on  this staff.

• C: Victor Caratini ($2.80M)
• 1B: Rowdy Tellez ($5.30M)
• 2B: Luis Urias ($4.3M)
• 3B: Miguel Vargas ($0.7M)
• SS: Brice Turang ($0.7M)
• LF: Sal Frelick ($0.70M)
• CF: Garrett Mitchell ($0.70M)
• DH: Christian Yelich ($26.00M)
• Bench OF: Esteury Ruiz ($0.70M)
• Utility: Mike Brosseau ($1.0M)
• Utility: Andy Ibanez ($0.75M)
• Backup C: Austin Barnes ($3.5M)
• RF: Tyrone Taylor ($1.0M)
• SP1: Ryan Pepiot ($0.7M)
• SP2: Aaron Ashby ($1.00M)
• SP3: Freddy Peralta ($3.50M)
• SP4: Eric Lauer ($5.20M)
• SP5: Kyle Bradish ($0.7M)
• CL: Devin Williams ($3.20M)
• RP: Tyler Alexander ($1.00M)
• RP: Matt Bush ($2.00M)
• RP: Peter Strzelecki ($0.7M)
• RP: Hoby Milner ($1.10M)
• RP: Jake Cousins ($1.0M)
• RP: Adrian Houser ($3.6M)
• RP: Cionel Perez ($3.0M)

Payroll is 42.42% under budget

I'd trade Burnes and Adames seperate if they both go and that way we could maximize return.

Adames for Vargas, Pepiot, Barnes

Burnes for Cartaya, Miller, 2 more mid level pieces.

I'd want a bit more in the Woody deal maybe switch DL Hall for Bradish. If we blow it up like this may as well trade Williams as well.

The Burnes/Adames trade is fair (BTV); I see no reason why we'd get more by splitting them, in fact they'd want Adames more if they thought they could get Burnes in the same trade.
And the Woody deal is fair too. 

We have Williams for an extra year. We could get back to the playoffs as soon as 2024.
