In what has become an annual tradition, I participated in a simulated offseason earlier this week, administered by Max Rieper of Royals Review. In the simulated offseason, various SBN writers take on the role of general manager of the team they cover, and look to sign free agents, make trades, and otherwise wheel and deal to get their team where they want it to be for the upcoming season. General managers are supposed to work within the financial framework of the franchise — so the Rays g.m., for example, isn’t going to sign Carlos Correa, Marcus Stroman and Freddie Freeman to blockbuster deals — but otherwise it is up to us in terms of what direction to go.
