Chart is updated as of 9/14.
Changes include Koji @ ~7M since I would approximate his AAV in that neighborhood with his late season performance. I believe he has 0 chance for a QO currently.
Castillo added
Significant needs include:
#1 starter
#2/3 starter
Filling out the BP
3B
Half of Catcher platoon (although that expense is included at 3.2 above)
Chart corrected as per 2 corrections below. Interesting aspect is that by starting Castillo's contract this year and paying him a prorated share allows the AAV to be reduced from almost 12M to 10.35M. A very smart move from both getting Castillo back on the field and saving almost 2 million in the luxury tax calculation.
