October 24, 20215 yr Just stayed with options listed and went a little over the even budget. Basically it came down to filling needs. Taylor for SS although I think he'll get more than $12M. Melancon for the bullpen is that difference when I went over. Need a vet arm who can close if needed. I really don't care for most of the options listed, and I think Jansen gets more than $12M. Also considered Iglesias but he can be very bad for long stretches. Needed 2 SP and I didn't like anyone below Rodon when trying to save money, and Stroman kept me from adding Ray. Moved Dobnak to SP because he's not good when he's used as a RP. Put Arraez at DH only because he should play nearly everyday, knowing they'd be moving players through the DH spot. Struggled with the last bench spot but went with Refsnyder over Celestino as Celestino needs to play everyday and it wouldn't happen barring injuries with the big club. Could have signed a lower listed FA but they're mainly SS and I already filled that and have Gordon and Polanco can always play there on occasion.
