clancyphile’s 2024 Payroll Blueprint

[Harold Hutchison]

The Bally blowup leads to the Crew riding some more rookies.

Dunn takes 2B and platoons with Monasterio at second, with Turang coming in for defense at second and/or short.

Black gets third. Caratini returns as the backup backstop - at least until Quero forces the issue.

Roster also assumes that by the deadline, the Crew may sell/option players to break in Misiorowski, Carlos F. Rodriguez, and Gasser ala 2018.
