SUMMARY
Projected Salary: 196M
I know that the suggested guideline for this was 170 million but my belief is that Jerry is going to spend more.
If not then drop Seagar from second, put Leury back there, and add Jake Burger to the bench. Then you’re at 176 million.
This team beats the poop out of baseball and gets reinforcements at the deadline when Jerry opens up the wallet for his best bud Tony. We get back to the post season and win the World Series without losing a game.
Quite the poopourri.
