Chad Turner’s 2027 Payroll Blueprint: More LHP and righty bats

[Chad Turner]

Marsee and Snelling start the season on IL.  I traded for Weathers, giving up Gus, Milbrandt, Ekness, and Alderman.  I traded for Hill, giving up Vodnik and Christian Hernandez.  Junk is the long reliever.  Phillips is the closer. Stephenson can play some 1B too.  Signing Bohm to a 1-year deal to replace Pauley would be my next priority with more money.
