This is going to be my version of the future Arizona offseason. What I would do if I could be Mike Hazen and Ken Kendrick. I need to preface this now: I will be spending more money than I realistically think the team will. However, as I have stated many times on this site, I believe a non-insignificant bump in payroll is coming in 2024. I believe this for a few reasons:
- The team publicly stated last offseason that the money was there for the right player (specifically discussing their public attempts to sign both Xander Bogaerts and Dansby Swanson) - So long as that player was not Carroll (who signed after those comments were made), this money would appear to still be available.
