Did we offer the QO?

Heard of Kleine, not of Castro.

He's on the 40 man and plays first base. What's not to get?

Contreras will not be cheap and only has one year of control left. Guys like that don't bring in monster returns anymore. Getting the 2nd and 3rd ranked prospects from the Yankees isn't a bad return especially with you underrating Lagrange. Gasser isn't guaranteed a spot in our rotation. If you want to go off of his playoff small sample, his FIP was much higher than his era. If Romero would cost the same as Schrieber using the rules of this (I'm sure you didn't read them), I would consider him.

Contreras isn't going to accept that contract, not even close. Romero isn't going to accept 5 million. So as long as we sign guys to contracts they won't accept, we're golden! Saying to trade for someone and then not name them defeats the whole purpose of this.

We traded two good minor leaguers for Dustin May. I would like to avoid that again this year

This team has a clear need for another #2/#3 starter, preferably a veteran. Gasser isn't it and who knows what Priester will look like this year.

You can offer that to Contreras, he isn't taking it

Bauers on a one year contract isn't going to hurt us. I am fine if he takes it or if he doesn't.

Looking at their other estimates, they are quite a bit below what other websites are predicting.

If the Twins are trading Ryan, no chance they want MEgill.

Ready to go in Nashville

Trade: Contreras to Yankees for Lagrange and Dietz Sign: Morejon for 5 years and 100 million Sign: Tyler Stephenson, 3 years and 24 mil Sign: Gary Sanchez, 1 year and 6 mil Sign: John Schreiber, 2 years and 8 mil Offer Bauers the QO (he will turn it down) Morejon is open to starting and I would be interested in letting him try it out. I also like Rogers but Morejon has better stuff. I like Stephenson as a sneaky good signing. His away numbers the last two years are actually a lot better which should be surprising to most. A three year contract would give some stability to the position but isn't too expensive that he couldn't be a high level backup. Take the savings from payroll and extend Made. Also, make sure to take care of your scouts and front office staff. I would also look to trade Ortiz but could not find a good fit. (Made up midseason) C: Tyler Stephenson ($8.00M) 1B: Andrew Vaughn ($8.00M) 2B: Brice Turang ($9.90M) 3B: Joey Ortiz ($2.00M) SS: Cooper Pratt ($3.50M) LF: Jackson Chourio ($8.00M) CF: Garrett Mitchell ($3.40M) RF: Sal Frelick ($1.50M) DH: Christian Yelich ($22.00M) 4th OF: Luis Lara ($2.00M) Utility: David Hamilton ($2.30M) Utility: Luke Adams ($1.00M) Backup C: Gary Sanchez ($6.00M) POS: Add Dead Money Here ($0.00M) SP1: Jacob Misiorowski ($1.00M) SP2: Adrian Morejon ($20.00M) SP3: Logan Henderson ($1.00M) SP4: Kyle Harrison ($1.00M) SP5: Quinn Priester ($1.00M) RP: Trevor Megill ($7.50M) RP: Abner Uribe ($1.00M) RP: Aaron Ashby ($7.50M) RP: Grant Anderson ($1.50M) RP: John Schreiber ($4.00M) RP: Chad Patrick ($1.00M) RP: D.L. Hall ($0.95M) RP: Shane Drohan ($1.00M) POS: Add Dead Money Here ($0.00M) Payroll is 9.96% under budget

Mentioned in another thread but he was the healhiest of our top 5 outfielders last year. We will need them all

No reason to trade any of the outfielders unless someone really overpays. The healthiest out of our top 5 was Mitchell. All 5 (Chourio, Mitchell, Frelick, Lara and Lockridge) will be needed next season.
