Offseason Hindsight

[jay87shot]

If you were the GM what would your offseason look like? By my calculations we spent around 38 million (plus Sanchez incentives)on Hoskins, Miley  Junis, Sanchez, Rea, Ross, Woody, Bauers, Clarke, Haase, and Chourio. We also have 14.5 in buyouts and Woody for 2025, more if Rhys re-ups. We sent out about 22 in trades with Burnes, Houser, Taylor.

Assume you could sign any player who signed elsewhere for the same price or make an equivalent trade.

Same moves

1) Trade Burnes, Taylor, Houser 2)Sign Miley, Woody 3) Extend Chourio 3) Trade for Dunn

Since we don't know other offers I will stick with the Burnes deal. I would still Trade Houser and Yaylor but separately to get 2 prospects of similar value. No issue with Miley, Woody, Chourio or Dunn deals. Note I am 100% happy with Hoskins deal but am going a different direction at 1st.

New FA

Luis Severino 1/13, Justin Turner 1/13, Tom Murphy 2/8

I am confident our staff would get Severino right, Turner helps 3B, 2B, 1B, and DH. Murphy is similar to Sanchez just a bit cheaper with incentives and more consistent hitter.

New trades

Luke Raley for Andrew Monesario and Jace Avina

Mitchell/Weimer for a mlb ready starter like Gavin Stone, Alex Manoah, etc.

Raley is similar to Rhys but cheaper and controllable the Andruw, Avina package is probably similar to Caberallo. I am pretty sure we could have traded an OF for a decent similarly valued starter.

1)RF Frelick 2) C Contreras 3) LF Yeli 4)DH Turner 5) 1B Raley 6) SS Willy 7) 3B Ortiz 8) 2B Turang 9) CF Chourio

Bench)Murphy, Miller, Mitchell/Weimer, Dunn/Capra/etc.

Rotation= Peralta, Severino. Miley, 2 of Ashby, Hall, Gasser, Gavin Stone (of trade). Eventually Woody

Pen basically the same 1 of Ashby or Hall as long man.

I think my hindsight is maybe 2 million more expensive but it lengthens our lineup, adds a high end starter and doesn't weaken our 2025 outlook. Note I would trade Willy at the deadline and bring up Black, reshuffling IF.
