eddiemathews’s 2023 Payroll Blueprint:

[eddiemathews]

Trading Hoskins for whatever I can get; lottery tix if necessary. Contreras, Kim, Haase, and Black can back up Walker (a slight overpay for Walker) at first but he's playing almost every day. Kim might miss some of the early season, but if Moncada doesn't work out he could play there. I'm expecting 500 PAs from Ortiz, Turnang, Kim, and Moncada. Traded Williams for prospects. Probably need another starter but there's some $$ available for that.
