Budgets are tight these days, so let’s try and thread the needle
Apparently, I have around $180 million to work with. Without making a single free agent signing or trade, I’m already at more than $160 million, so let’s get creative.
Arbitration-eligibles
Dylan Cease $5.3 million Tender
Michael Kopech $2.2 million Tender
Lucas Giolito $10.8 million Tender
I’m still concerned with Giolito’s 2022 season, but he at least apparently has pinpointed the major culprit.
