Despicable.

Seiya is making $17 million/year off his production in Japan, Happ and Dansby making another $46 off of a 4.2 and 5.5 WAR with a previous track record of of slightly above average production over the course of their first 5+ seasons in the league and because we’re in a situation with no big time bat in this lineup you end up giving Cody $80 million with the hopes last season wasn’t a fluke after falling off a cliff after 2029. Best case scenario is he’s productive enough to opt out. The point is building your roster and investing payroll around players to add an extra win or 2 best case scenario is an inefficient way to contend for a championship. You’re paying them off 1 season hoping it becomes a new trend. would you trade Swanson and Happ/Suzuki for Seager? Less AAV and more wins. what Is Jed’s strategy here?

$93 million cumulative AAV split between Swanson, Happ, Cody and Suzuki. A career 162 game 12 combined WAR/season, essentially 4 wins above average. For $30 million/year you can have Mookie Betts for around a 6 WAR. Terrible roster construction and value from a $230 million payroll.

Wouldn’t be a bad idea either to DH for Amaya and bat the pitchers 9th.
-
$230 million well spent.
