MLB GM for a Day: Assembling a 25-Man Roster within the Budget

Frank Victores-USA TODAY Sports

Starting Pitchers (5)- Johnny Cueto ($10M), Lance Lynn ($7M), Chris Sale ($6M), Hyun-Jin Ryu ($4.8M), and Chris Archer ($1.2M).

In selecting a mixture of young talented pitchers, $29 million of my $93 million-dollar budget went to starting pitching talent. Cueto has anchored the Reds rotation for a couple years now and until the end of the season, he would be the best ace for the buck. If you haven’t seen Chris Sale pitch, he is the real deal, and at $6 million he is a steal for the White Sox organization. Lynn and Ryu are both young and talented with Archer being a great arm for the Rays.
