The Tough Questions:

1-First off, Walker will not be on next years team.

2- Gardner should not take a spot from Clint Frazier of a free agent signing, bench role or nothing.

3- Next, what to do with Sonny Gray, Gregory Bird, and Gary Sanchez?

4- Who will we sign from our team? D-Rob, Britton, Happ, Lynn, CC?

5- What free agents will we target?

TheAnswers to those Tough Questions:

1- I would sign CC and Happ on 1 year contracts only based on their respective ages. If Happ can get more then let him go.

2- I would then trade Sonny Gray and Gregory “Stanford” Bird to Colorado (Bird’s backyard) for Jon (Snow) Grey!

3- I would sign Patty Corbin and go with a 6 man rotation.

Rotation (Corbin, Severino, Grey, CC, Happ, Tanaka): 6

Corbin, Severino, CC, Jon Grey, Happ, Tanaka, and Sheffield will be the 7th arm and with injuries at one point him and Montgomery (after all star break) will be available to fill out rotation.

Rotation Check.

Bullpen (Chapan, Betances, Green, Britton, Holder, Acevedo, Adams/Kahnle): 7

4-I would sign either Andrew Miller or Zack Britton.

5-I would allow Acevedo, Adams, and Kahn battle for a bullpen spot.

Bullpen Check!

Roster (Sanchez, Realmuto, Harper, Torres, Didi, Andujar, Hicks, Judge, Stanton, Frazier, Wade, I would use the 25th roster spot for either Gardner/Torreyes/ or a guy who can catch and can play 1st?): 12

6- I would consider Gary Sanchez in a 1st base platoon and as back up catcher to get him 500 plus at bats. Our roster will be much deeper this way.

7- I would sign either Harper for left field and platoon him occasionally with Gary at 1st or Machado for 3rd and platoon Andujar at 1st, left field, and 3rd.

8- Trade for JT Realmuto.

9- Wade and Frazier will fill out roster and bench spots.

10- Depending on how we finish I would consider bringing in a more experienced manager such as Buck Showalter.

This should be Cashman’s blue print for the next dynasty.
